Nick looks back at the work of actor, writer, and director Buck Henry during the first five seasons of Saturday Night Live. Henry, who already had a rich history in TV and film during the 60s and 70s, became a mainstay in the early years of SNL, hosting the show a record 10 times in less than five years. Known for his sharp humor, Buck was always hilarious in sketches, delivered wonderfully meta monologues, and created recurring characters that stood toe-to-toe with anything the regular cast members could produce.
In this episode, you’ll hear some of Buck Henry’s classic sketches, including “Lord and Lady Douchebag,” “The Meeting in Sodom,” and the incredibly controversial “Uncle Roy” bits, where he played a pedophilic babysitter—a character that remains infamous. You’ll also hear from Buck Henry himself as he reflects on his time working on the show, dealing with censors, getting injured on live TV, and the fallout from the Uncle Roy sketches. Of course, Nick will also cover Henry’s hilarious work with John Belushi, playing the straight man to Belushi’s unforgettable Samurai Futaba character.
It’s time to celebrate Buck Henry—a brilliant writer, a hilarious performer, and an SNL legend. [Ep94]
