I haven't watched SNL in years due to how bad it has become. It was great to see old, familiar faces and to be reminded how great SNL once was. Sadly there are too many people no longer coming to us LIVE FROM NEW YORK!

Gilda Radner was the real heartbreaker when she died, it affected everyone in America because she was the living embodiment of the girl next door, everyone felt like the girl they grew up next to had died because she was such a sweetheart, that one was a real punch in the gut for everyone. With Belushi died it was a bummer but at the same time it was like "Well who didn't see that one coming?", but when Gilda died it was just so sad and seemed so unfair.

Steve Martin was the host that weekend. She passed away that morning. Steve walked out on stage crying. The sketch he and Gilda appeared in "Dancing in the Dark"?from 1978) was replayed as a tribute to Gilda in place of Steve's planned monologue.

Gilda also had her own movie, Gilda Live! In 1980. I have her Comedy album where she sings "Let's Talk Dirty To The Animals" which I think was also in the movie. There was also a TV movie biopic called "It's Always Something" with Jami Gertz as Gilda.

Went to the comments first knowing this episode would hit home for alot of folks. Rosanne Rosannadana and Barbwa wawa aka Gilda Radner was the first one to pass on. March 5th 1982 is forever burned into my memory. That Friday morning, after 351 days, in my first and last experience, I was released from jail, one of the BEST days of my life, only to learn a few hours later that John Belushi had also been found dead that Friday morning March 5th 1982.

Don't forget that the show's first musical guest, Billy Preston, was a significant contributing member of the Beatles, even tho he was never credited on the albums. In a way, you could rightfully say he *was* the first Beatle to appear on the show. (Of course, this gets into how many Beatles there actually were, which could number close to a dozen, depending on how you count. But Billy, much more than most, deserves that accolade, imo.)

Here's a factoid for ya, and I'm wondering if that new movie coming out about the insane 90 minutes before the first episode aired will have something in it about it, Billy Crystal was an original cast member, but because of a dispute he had all along with Lorne Michael that never got resolved under advisement from his manager he walked away 15 minutes before the show aired, that caused a lot of problems for everyone because the show was not only written but had also been rehearsed in front of a test audience, the moment I saw a commercial for that movie I immediately wondered if what I'd read in the book Live From New York about Crystal walking out minutes before the first show aired is going to be a part of it or not.

Another one not mentioned was Milton Berle. The cast hated working with him and he was never invited back. Milton showed his ego and was uncooperative during rehearsals. And he was ruining sketches by trying to upstage everybody. He also went too long with his monologue. They tried to stop him offstage.

This is an old, worn out cliche': SATURDAY NIGHT.....DEAD. I quit watching SNL when they brought in Will Farrell, Tina Fay and their crowd in the mid 1990s. It should have gone off of the air a very long time ago. My favorite sketch was Chris Farley as Matt Foley, the motivational speaker who was divorced and lived in a van down by the river. And I loved Eddie Murlhy when he was on SNL. In my opinion, he carried the show from 1980 to 1984 and kept it from getting canceled. I am thankful that I am.old enough to remember the Golden Age of Saturday Night Live from October of 1975 through May or June of 1980.
