    Storyline

    Edit
    A late-night comedy show featuring several short skits, parodies of television commercials, a live guest band, and a pop-cultural guest host each week. Many of the SNL players have spun off successful independent comedy and/or movie careers from here. —Tad Dibbern <DIBBERN_D@a1.mscf.upenn.edu>

    • Trivia
      In 1995, Steve Carell auditioned for the show, along with his wife, Nancy Carell. She was cast, he was not. The following season, he was cast as the voice of Gary in the recurring animated segment "The Ambiguously Gay Duo." When he hosted the show in 2005, Carell stated that Will Ferrell beat him for the spot.
    • Goofs
      ...almost everything. Live television is largely exempt from the usual rules of goofs.
    • Quotes

      George W. Bush: I'm gonna be around for a long time. On the job, making the tough decisions 24/7. That's 24 hours a week, 7 months a year.

    • Alternate versions
      To avoid paying royalties, some syndicated versions remove the musical performances and the mention of the musical guests in the opening credits is also removed.

    The First Five Years Will Always the Classic Years
    The first five years of S.N.L. will always be the "golden era" of this show. Belushi, Akroyd, Chase, Curtain, Newman, Morris, Radner and Radner will always represent an era when some of the best comedic talent of the 1970's were all on one show and as a springboard for greatness. However, once the original cast was gone the show went in decline for me. Even though talents like Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscapo, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Martin Short and Billy Crystal became big stars as a result of being on the show, the magic that the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players will never be duplicated. They made Saturday nights worth staying at home.
