On this week&#39;s episode of the SNL Hall of Fame podcast, Jamie is joined by Matthew Ardill to add Michael O&#39; Donoghue to the ballot.

This week on the SNL Hall of Fame podcast, Jamie welcomes the head honcho of the SNL Network, Jon Schneider into the Hall for a discussion on what makes a Hall of Famer and to add Steve Martin to the ballot.Although Mr. Martin was a big part of the show throughout the &#39;70s and again in the &#39;90s through the current era, does his blind spot in the &#39;80s somehow diminish his case for Hall entry. That will be for you to decide when voting opens in May.  If you&#39;ve got questions about the show or would like to be a guest on an episode in the future please reach out - jamie@snlhof.comYou can follow and support the show through discussion and sharing in all the usual places.
