Bob and Rob Grabowski return to The Analysis to talk funny — diving deep into two documentaries that celebrate the architects of laughter: Colin Hanks’ “I Like Me” (on John Candy) and Fred Armisen’s “Downey Wrote That” (on longtime SNL head writer Jim Downey). From Candy’s mix of heart and heartbreak to Downey’s sharp political wit, the episode unpacks how these two legends shaped the DNA of modern comedy. Expect reflections on Planes, Trains & Automobiles, the “I like me” speech, improv at Second City, SNL lore, and even Norm Macdonald’s Weekend Update rebellion.
