It is remarkable that SNL has endured. Like Boomers, they paved their own way and didn't give up (at least not yet)! It's a cultural icon for us--but also for each generation since. That is remarkable. How fun!
This was an interesting read. I've never seen a complete episode of the show. I think I tried in my late teens and didn't like it, then in my early 30s, still didn't like it, and recently my husband pulled up a clip to share with me, one he thought was hilarious. Didn't work for me, either.
I think it's pretty awesome that a show has been on for that long and still around today.
If I need to pull up old comedy I'm a sucker for Johnny Carson, Hollywood Squares, Seinfeld, and going way back to Dick Van Dyke and I Love Lucy.
Those are some classic shows with classic humor. There’s a new version of Hollywood Squares but I havent seen it . The original version was some kitschy fun!
I have been a fan of SNL from the very first episode. The good, the bad, AND the ugly.
The imperfections make it more fun sometimes.
Fun piece, Sally! As a SNL fan you’ll love Curtis Sittenfeld’s novel Romantic Comedy, based on SNL from the viewpoint of a female writer for the show.
I’ll have to check it out!
LOVED IT!!
Thanks for reading! Hope the show brought back great memories for you like it did for me.

It really is remarkable that it still continues and remains relevant!
