    • 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.
    • Connections
      Edited into The Best of John Belushi (1985)

    Featured review
    A love/hate relationship with a classic
    An earlier reviewer said this show sucks and that the "new cast" is terrible. What is interesting about SNL is how whenever there is a changeover of cast, it has become almost a tradition to hate the newcomers. In truth, however, many of the episodes that have aired in recent years -- even since the 1998 review I refer to -- have now come to be considered classics. And the cast members so many of us hated at first are now often seen in a favorable light alongside the "classic" cast of the late 1970s. And what cannot be denied is no TV program in history has been such a fertile breeding ground for future stars. Just look at the cast list and be amazed.
