Tommy Brennan Reveals What SNL Is Really Like Behind The Scenes

Minnesota’s own Tommy Brennan joins The Power Trip in studio to talk about his first year as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, throwing out the first pitch at a Twins game, and headlining Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis. Tommy takes the crew behind the scenes at SNL, including what the audition process was really like, pitching sketches in Lorne Michaels’ office, working with legends like Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon and Amy Poehler, and what actually happens during those chaotic live commercial breaks. He also talks about growing up in a big Minnesota family, repping the Wolves and Twins on national TV, singing “Let’s Go Crazy” before SNL with the band, and why his mom was still circling the block to pick him up. It’s a hilarious look at one of Minnesota’s own living out the Saturday Night Live dream. #TommyBrennan #SNL #SaturdayNightLive #PowerTrip #KFAN #Minnesota #ThePowerTrip #MollyShannon #WillFerrell #AmyPoehler
