Chris Akin Presents... LIVE! 2/18/25: Was SNL50 a Total Flop? 🤔

On this episode of CHRIS AKIN PRESENTS..., Chris and Erik dive into the SNL50 broadcast on Peacock – and they’re not impressed. They discuss why the show failed to live up to expectations and how it felt like a missed opportunity for nostalgia.
