I don’t know if it’s a generational thing, but the Garret Morris storyline was just beautifully executed to me. That funny song he sang was one of his most famous contributions to the show. A fan of SNL would recognize it right away. It was a very raw take on race from the perspective of a black man delivered with pure sarcasm. That song was the answer to the question “Why am I here?” It disturbs me how poorly younger generations understand nuance. If you need it spelled out for you, you suck out the marrow of the message.

I have to disagree slightly about the Garret Morris arch. He spent the whole movie trying to get somebody to admit he's the token Black guy. His sound check scene was obviously meant to show us why he was there and that he was not a token. If the point didn't come across, then I guess it failed. But, it worked for me.

I was in high school at a weekend party, and the whole party paused the festivities to watch SNL. The skit we howled at that night was the pot grower's union spoof of a union commercial that was popular on the tube at that time (1976). It's so much fun! Check it out.

I’ve seen a lot of criticism of Saturday Night that had me wondering, “Am I biased? Because I think all these criticisms are stupid. Am I blinded by nostalgia? Is it because I watched while deeply depressed and highly anxious so I needed something lightheartedly entertaining and this delivered?” But seeing your critiques, I think, nah, the complaints I heard were stupid because all of these makes perfect sense. I still really enjoyed it, of course, but this was all right on. Very spot on review.

At 56, I vividly remember that first SNL show. I thought it was weird and funny but most memorable was the musical guest ...the amazing Rickie Lee Jones... singing her now classics "Chuck E.'s in Love, Young Blood" and the following day I begged my mom to bring me to the record store to buy a cassette tape of her album. I've been fan of her music ever since but stopped watching SNL years ago. lol

Disappointed about the Gilda Radner portrayal being unmemorable (context, I was born in 89 and watched 70s episodes of SNL that came on early Sunday morning; Gilda was always my favorite).

I will defend the Rosie Shuster portrayal and characterization; in the scene with Dan Aykroyd hitting on her following her around she explains her and Loren's relationship that she had "toilet paper tits", and said she wasn't the dream girl, she wasn't the homemaker, she wasn't the girl next door, she wasn't the kid sister. Then Aykroyd asked "What are you then?", and she says "I'm the writer". Later towards the end they asked her again how she wants to be credited and she says Rosie Shuster, then comments that Loren Michaels real last name is Lipowitz, which, to overly dissect this a bit, means he has an Anglicized last name and she's going by her non-Anglicized birth name, which is both feminist and traditional. Right before the show goes "Live". Loren and Rosie briefly hold hands, which sums up what the are: The Power couple, she's the woman behind the man.

Watch “A Futile and Stupid Gesture”. It’s a really good SNL film. Even if you know nothing about SNL it’s just funny. SNL came out 20 days before my third birthday. I was allowed to stay up and watch it. I don’t remember the first episode per se. It was just a thing I have always watched.

I just saw Jim Henson Idea Man, a Ron Howard doc about Jim Henson and they do discuss how hard the SNL time was for Jim. The SNL team did not like the muppets and they were mean to him. I haven't seen this movie but it seems like the Jim Henson portrayal is accurate or at least accurate to the SNL perspective of Henson.

I did not understand what Rosie was trying to say when she says "I'm married to you but I'm not your wife" wtf? At times the structure of the film a frenetic 90 min in real time worked against it because stuff like the fist fight and bricks felt forced

They didn't show it, because the movie ends on "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night", but I always thought it was kinda funny that Don Pardo flubs the voiceover on the first episode. He says "Not for ready prime time players" instead of "Not ready for prime time players". What I like about the movie is that it gave the same vibe as that first opening, that anything could go wrong at any moment.

Not sure if the 2002 book about SNL was a source because that was pretty definitive and had so much background insight. SNL is pretty infamous for overlooking the contributions of Larraine Newman, Jane Curtin and Garrett Morris. Even Gilda Radner is overshadowed by Belushi and Chase (and later Bill Murray). In 1979, Cicely Tyson was the host of SNL and the cold opening is one of the best as far as I'm concerned. Garrett Morris comes out in drag as Cicely Tyson and begins her monologue and then Ms Tyson walks up on the stage upset and addresses how Morris has come to this point where he's pretty much reduced to the token person of color. It's a funny opening but also had a serious undertone. SNL in it's heyday could be masterful in it's nuance. I catch occasional episodes now and then but the golden years were amazing.

Lorne got a shot because he and Dick Ebersole spent the previous year poaching the Second City and National Lampoon All Stars. Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, and John Belushi all had a growing fanbase from Lampoon before they set foot inside 30 Rock.

I liked the movie although it doesn't really say anything much or shed light on the characters. However, I saw it play at TIFF and that was an audience primed to love it as Lorne is from here and came up through the city's comedy scene. I wish the film had more space to show how messy, drugged out, and ego filled those early days reportedly were. Or how complicated and entangled all those people actually were. Plus, the film tells us nothing about Lorne except he thinks he's a genius which I think was a miss especially given his later reputation in the industry. I agree the actor playing Chevy was the best part of the film which I thought really worked as he was the breakout star of the early seasons which reportedly caused a lot of tension with the rest of the cast. I really liked that they showed Rosie as she wasn't just his wife but his writing partner since they were kids.

My problem with this film I haven't seen but heard director's interview where he said he made up many scenes even though he did hundreds of interviews to research before writing the script. It isn't a true story, just based on a true story that happened 50 years ago. Milton Berle was nof there the 1st night of SNL, just made up stuff.

I don’t think Lorne and Rosie were estranged; it sounded like they had an open marriage. He asks her if she’ll be spending the night with Dan Akroyd, etc.

I love the old SNL casts because I am old. Back then it was so much more subversive and the musical artists were more cutting edge. YET, I have no desire to see this, I think because all those seemingly cool, smartly irreverent artists grew up to become either assholes, shawdy, totally tragic etc. Like I don't care about them. I will wait till this comes on Hulu.
