Summary

Dana and David welcome back comedy legend Michael McKean for a ride through Hollywood and SNL stories. From the quirks of Saturday Night residual checks to Dan Aykroyd’s fascination with space and the occult. Michael dishes fresh Conehead tales, recalls a funny conversation with Howard Stern, and rattles off must-see movies—though no matter where the chat goes, it always circles back to Spinal Tap. To top it off, McKean shares what it was like to work with the GOAT himself: Paul McCartney.
