More SNL at 50

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".
