From college improv to Studio 8H, Luke Null takes us on a no-holds-barred ride through the trenches of comedy. Known for his musical flair and one wild season on Saturday Night Live, Luke dives deep into the chaotic, cutthroat, and occasionally hilarious world behind the scenes. This episode is equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and brutally honest as Luke dishes on SNL politics, musical comedy, and the bittersweet beauty of getting cut for time. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to get (and survive) on SNL, Luke holds nothing back.

Episode Highlights:

• Luke reveals how one risky Jay Cutler impression and a cigarette nearly stole the SNL spotlight.
• Luke’s unconventional journey from Ohio University GIS major to NYC’s comedy stages
• The audition story that includes rewriting five minutes in two days for Lorne Michaels
• Hilarious behind-the-scenes politics of SNL sketch selection and cut-for-time heartbreak
• Insights on being the “new kid” in a cast full of comedy veterans
• His reflections on post-SNL life, creative freedom, and making comedy on his own terms
