Saturday Night Live (1975– )
4/10
Original Prime Time Players Were The Best
6 May 2022
I watched the very first episode of SNL when it aired in 1975. I laughed till my sides ached and never missed a show. We had no VCRs then so we watched it live, and I never missed a show. Every single one of the original cast were funny in their own way. Eventually they all went on to other projects.

John Belushi was a comedic genius and he was in some of the funniest skits of all time with Danny Aykroyd. Gilda Radner was also hysterically funny.

The funniest, most memorable skits of all time were in the first 20 years.

Many of cast n the 80s were very funny and so were the cast in the 90s.. After that I stopped watching and I stopped watching about 20 years ago since it wasn't funny to me anymore.

Anyone still watching for only the last 10 years may not be old enough to remember the original cast Occasionally i turn it on for a few minutes and I don't even crack a smile.

They had some great guest hosts like Steve Martin, Buck Henry, Chris Walken, Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, and Eddie Murphy to name a few. They all added to the show's quality.

The show became political, and sometimes offensive at times eventually. Poking at politicians is fine, but IMO they sometimes went too far.

Now, they ought to pack it in because it stinks.
