Today, back in 1975, winner of 36 Primetime Emmy Awards, 2 Peabody Awards, and a total of 156 Emmy nominations since then… Saturday Night Live debuted!
Created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol, Saturday Night Live is a mixture of culture and politics, a celebrity host and guests, musical talent…you name it! I love to watch the old episodes, especially the ones with the original cast: Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman and Gilda Radner. What amazing and talented people!
I find it interesting the number of movies that have spawned from this famous show. Do you remember:
The Blues Brothers
Wayne’s World (& Wayne’s World 2)
Coneheads
It’s Pat
A Night at the Roxbury
The Ladies Man
Office Space, the weekly prime time show, derived from a series of Mike Judge short skits. So much has come from this one show that started just as a variety show.
Which were your favorite skits? Here are some videos of mine:
