I can’t wait for the prime time 50th anniversary special

[@seanm6215]

@@goldeneve yes. I used to have a VHS of the 15th and I've watched every anniversary since.

Happy 50th Anniversary to SNL. I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming movie, as it's received warm reviews so far.

Me too, I’m excited to see Gilda Radner as I feel that she has the most interesting story. Not to discredit the other cast members, but I always thought her story was the most interesting.

10:06 no he wasn’t the rebel he’s chaos and I love it. You know as we approach the special in February I’m wondering are they going to recreate the first sketch the Wolverines. Lol

Quite frankly, I love the first episode of NBC’s Saturday Night, as the show was known at the time. It has a lot of fun moments!

George Carlin

They Made a Movie About The Creation Of Saturday Night Live (1975-) holy crap wish They'd do one for America's Funniest Home Videos (1989-) wonder who'd play Vin Di Bona or Bob Saget

A very, very, very Good. Well written, directed and casting is very important. Possible on HBO or FX to write the first Season of Saturday Night Live. Into a Great Movie. How the show was developed? How The Show was casted? Each of the original SNL members, where they was before being cast? How the show launched into Iconic Status, because of Johnny Carson? The movie should shared who worked behind the scenes of SNL? All of the writers, directors, Original SNL Performers, Music Guests and Invited Guests on the Show became Iconic legends. Not only won many awards. But changed the direction of movies, became over night success. Unfortunately, into self destruction. Completely changed the direction of comedy. For NBC Taking a risk of a new type of Comedy. From, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Carol Burnett, Milton Berle, Jerry Lewis type of Comedy. To A street performers, sketch, Stand up Comedy Show. That changed, culture and the direction of Comedy and into Icon Status. That lasted for 50 years. A very Movie needs to be done. If My idea is going to used. Write back to me so I can get paid. 🤞Knowing them, they would lie. We have already thought of the idea. 😢
