Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The show was originally entitled "Saturday Night" to avoid confusion with ABC's "Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell" (1975). In an effort to emphasize the live nature of the show, the writers began the tradition of the trademark "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night" line. After ABC's show failed, permission was granted to rename this show, and the first episode to carry the title "Saturday Night Live" was 26 March 1977. The original cast members were known as the Not Ready for Prime-time Players. more

Colin Quinn: I guess so.
Harry Caray: Oh, you made a wise choice, my friend.

Many people say that the years 1975-1980 were the best with John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, etc of SNL. I have to disagree, it might be because I wasn't even born then or maybe I didn't get the humour when I saw it on Pay TV. Anyway I liked the years 1990 onwards with Chris Farley, Adam Sandler and later on after they left Will Ferrell.

Saturday Night Live is a classic, it is in it's record 30th year and they still have the great sketches but Will Ferrell is truly missed. The show keeps me in stitches and histerics and I still tune in when the new episodes appear on t.v.

I thank NBC for sticking with the show even when there were some rough, bland years most notably 1980-1981 and 1985-1986.

I recommend this show to everyone, it is great entertainment, heaps of laughs and good to watch to see which celebrity is hosting the show each week.
