  • Episode #331: John Hickman TALKS An Intervention from Al Pacino, ‘GUNNERS,’ & ‘Barron’s Cove’

    Episode #331: John Hickman TALKS An Intervention from Al Pacino, ‘GUNNERS,’ & ‘Barron’s Cove’
    Nov 21 2024
    It is a privilege to welcome actor John Hickman to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    John had always been interested in acting, but it wasn’t until he won the opportunity to play a part in True Blood that he realized it was a path for him. His first scene on the HBO series turned into several more, and soon he became a part of Joe Manganiello’s “wolf pack,” which included the opportunity to work with live wolves in Season Five.

    John Hickman also worked on shows like The Originals and The Vampire Diaries on the CW. As a go-to character actor, John worked alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names, such as Bruce Willis, Ed Harris, James Franco, Nikki Glaser, Peter Facinelli, and Pierce Brosnan.

    While his acting career was taking off, he was secretly battling an alcohol addiction. After filming four films back-to-back, John wound up in the hospital due to his drinking. However, it was an on-set meeting with Al Pacino that led him to get clean and sober. While detoxing on his next set, the Emmy and Oscar-winning actor pulled him aside one day and told him he needed to improve. John took that life-changing advice to heart and went to rehab, returning later to finish the film.

    In addition to acting, John is dedicated to philanthropy. In 2011, he established the John Herman Hickman Foundation to aid victims of natural disasters and provide scholarships to the children of Peco Foods employees. His charitable efforts also extend to the West Alabama Humane Society and other organizations.

    On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, John Hickman discussed how he got into acting later in life, how an encounter with legendary actor Al Pacino changed his life, and his work on GUNNER (starring Morgan Freeman and Luke Hemsworth) and Barron’s Cove (starring Garrett Hedlund, Hamish Linklater, and Brittany Snow).

  • Episode #330: SWMRS TALK Becker, Cole's Progress, & European Tour

    Episode #330: SWMRS TALK Becker, Cole's Progress, & European Tour
    Nov 18 2024
    It is a privilege to welcome SWMRS (Max, Cade, and Cole Becker) to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    SWMRS is not just a band—it's a California-born brotherhood fueled by punk energy, catchy hooks, and electrifying performances. Max and Cole Becker kicked off this wild journey as teenagers, and for the past 15 years, they have been building a fiercely loyal, ride-or-die fanbase while evolving their sound.

    But in 2022, with the addition of younger brother Cade on bass, their dynamic took a decisive turn: the family bond became the band's heartbeat. For SWMRS, brotherhood isn't just a connection—it's their driving force. And now, they're inviting you to be part of the family too.

    On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, SWMRS spoke about their latest record, BECKER, and shared the stories behind their songs. Plus, Cole exclusively shared how he has grown as a musician since joining his brothers on stage.

    Episode #329: Jon Schneider TALKS ‘Saturday Night Network,’ Memorable Interviews & SNL 50
    Nov 11 2024
    It is a privilege to welcome Saturday Night Network founder and host Jon Schneider to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    In September 2020, Jon launched the Saturday Night Network (SNN), offering insight into NBC’s long-running live show Saturday Night Live (SNL). SNN has become a top-charting North American TV Review podcast network that features rotating roundtables starring critically acclaimed journalists from top media publications and superfans.

    In addition to hosting, Jon Schneider recruits the panelists and manages the day-to-day administrative duties, marketing, and distribution of the podcasts. He also manages a team of interns who create social media content daily for their community. As a result, SNN has become the most followed SNL podcast on social media. He also manages the logistics of booking guests and panelists for all their podcasts and making sure they are fully prepared with show notes before each recording. The Saturday Night Network charts weekly in the top 40 TV Review podcasts in the United States and Canada and is watched by thousands of SNL fans each week on YouTube and all podcast platforms.

    SNN’s content includes its Hot Takes, where they go LIVE right after the action wraps up at Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York. To commemorate SNL’s fiftieth anniversary season, Jon teamed up with James Stephens on the historical mini-series Everything You NEED to Know About SNL, which breaks down the series season-by-season and reveals insights into the show’s cast members, sketches, memorable characters, and backstage stories.

    SNN also welcomed a plethora of guests with ties to the long-running NBC show. Current cast members Andrew Dismukes, Heidi Gardner, James Austin Johnson, and Mikey Day, along with previous cast members Bobby Moynihan, Chris Redd, Darrell Hammond, Denny Dillion, and Punkie Johnson, all visited the podcast’s SNL Stories.

    On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jon Schneider shared SNN’s origin story, discussed their in-depth dives into several of the show’s early seasons, and expressed his hopes for SNL 50.
