Been watching since 1978 when I was 13 and they did some prime time specials. I remember it was one of the few things that made my dad laugh. Been a fan since then. Now I watch with my daughter and have been trying to catch a live recording at Rockefeller Center since the lottery went online. There are still some laughs but its always been hit or miss. My favorite era was Phil Hartman/Jan Hooks/Dana Carvey years. Thanks Tim.
Hotel Easton! Thanks for that memory too, Randy. As for SNL, I am forever grateful for Steve Martin as King Tut and remember fondly its iconoclastic early seasons. These days I watch on Sundays the highlights curated by the NYT and hope that Lorne Michaels is planning for the show’s future without him. We need this cultural touchstone more than ever!
I agree Phil Hartman/Hooks/Carvey were fab!
