Pittsburgh Pop podcast: Talking ‘SNL,’ Steelers time slot change, ‘Tulsa King,’ ‘Virulent,’ ‘American Rust’ needs extras
In this episode of the “Pittsburgh Pop” podcast, host Tim Benz and TV Talk columnist Rob Owen discuss Pittsburgh pop culture news of the moment, including the Steelers game on Nov. 20 getting downgraded from prime time to a late afternoon starting time, a call for extras on season two of “American Rust” and the debut of new WQED-TV documentary “Virulent.”
Benz and Owen also discuss controversy around Dave Chappelle hosting “Saturday Night Live” and his opening monologue in particular.
And Owen reviews the latest Taylor Sheridan series, the surprisingly light and often humorous “Tulsa King.”
