363: "Give Me Some Funny Banjo" - Shana and Trina - An SNL Recurring Character Study

Saturday Night Jive Podcast

And we're back with yet another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances. This week we watched two characters from the same performer. Kristen Wiig is an absolute delight as Shana, the hot lady who does weird things but befuddles us as Trina, a different lady who does weird things. For some, neither may work or both my work. For us, we definitely enjoyed one more than the other. It is fascinating that two characters from the same performer with basically the same premise can have such wildly different outcomes. In both, Kristen enters a scene, grosses out or annoys the people in the scene and they react in a way of "Wow, can you believe how crazy and annoying that character is?". So what makes them so different? Is it just because we are more attracted to one? We'll dive in and find out on this week's episode of Saturday Night Jive. Enjoy!
