Some more Saturday Night Live at 50 love is in the air:
SNL is not just a joke factory and musical showcase, but a record for posterity. It’s a living, breathing museum of American history, forged in the ever-unfurling present, revealing how people at any given moment talked, dressed, and shopped; which movies and commercials they watched; and the kind of jokes they found funny. It is well and truly remarkable that this archive now spans 50 years.I also think there's an idea that someone smarter than me can bring to fruition which suggests that what also makes SNL so universal even on a subconscious basis is that it somehow resembles high school classes, which makes it easy to use as a frame of reference on how own lives have mixed & mingled with other "classes".
