Lorne Michaels is a pivotal figure in the podcast episodes, as he is frequently mentioned by the Lonely Island comedy group when reflecting on their time on Saturday Night Live during the 2006-2007 season.

The group discusses Michaels' role in deciding which digital shorts and sketches made it to air, highlighting his significant influence on their work and the overall creative process of the show. For example, in the episode Cubicle Fight, the group shares insights into Michaels' reactions and input during their tenure on SNL.

Similarly, in the episode Doppleganger, the group delves into Michaels' involvement in determining which of their efforts were ultimately included in the final show, even when their best work sometimes failed to elicit the desired audience response.
