Live from bingo, at the table nearest the exit - it's Saturday Night Dive! This week, the Zachs dive into the unfamilair territory of a host they've never heard of and a week that saw Lorne Michaels quit the show for the first (and not only time). ABBA's here, the show's pissed about it and we're unpacking every bit.
