Jim Gaffigan: 我很荣幸能成为科南的朋友。在喜剧生涯中，我从未试镜或主持过SNL，直到最近才在节目中扮演了蒂姆·沃尔兹的角色。这个角色的灵感来自于我的兄弟米奇，他是一个真诚热情的中西部人。在SNL的经历让我感受到了这个节目的独特运作方式，以及创作过程的复杂性。我的新特辑《The Skinny》探讨了减肥、对食物的痴迷以及养育青少年等主题。我意识到对食物的渴望可能是一种化学上的成瘾，并且在成长过程中，家人通过一起吃大餐来表达爱意。 Conan O'Brien: 吉米·法伦是我见过的最幽默、最多产的喜剧天才之一，他的成功是通过努力一步步获得的。马丁·肖特是有史以来最厉害的吐槽喜剧演员。我与吉米一起拜访教宗的经历是一次超现实的经历，教宗的演讲很美好，但缺乏一个精彩的结尾。在SNL的经历就像一个狂欢节，充满着紧张和兴奋，创作流程比梵蒂冈教宗选举更加神秘和复杂。我主持的播客节目正在尝试发布完整版视频节目，并探索视频内容与音频内容的融合。 Sona Movsesian: 作为播客节目的联合主持人，我对电影和流行文化有深入的了解，这让我成为奥斯卡颁奖典礼的理想人选。 Matt Gurley: 作为播客节目的幕后工作人员，我对节目的成功做出了贡献，并对节目的未来发展充满信心。 Adam Sacks: 播客节目过去一年邀请的嘉宾阵容强大，包括汤姆·汉克斯、阿尔·帕西诺等大牌明星。节目正在尝试发布完整版视频节目，并探索视频内容与音频内容的融合，这符合当前数字内容创作的趋势。播客节目的品牌安全问题有所改善，品牌对内容审查标准的变化也为节目带来了更多机会。
