Kevin Nealon still brings the heat

Never mind his great body of work on SNL, my girlfriend and I just watched him crush it onstage in front of a packed Helium outside of Atlanta. Damn, what a hilarious set, don't pass up seeing him live. I've always went to bat for Nealon, and tonight reinforces that belief x10 😎

Peacock Seasons 40 and on

For a few months, they finally had unedited full episodes from at least season 40 and on and now they're mostly back to being cut much smaller and I haven't seen anyone talking about it. What gives?

An interesting piece of trivia I discovered watching the SNL50 music special

Dave Grohl has appeared with the musical guest for 4 different acts. That's got to be a record. Right?

Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Them Crocked Vultures, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers.

Did Michael Che just announce he is leaving SNL?

Just came back from Michael Che's standup in Rochester NY and he mentioned that SNL 50 would be his final season, I have been searching everywhere but cant find anything talking about this.

Has he officially said he would be leaving?

Biggest bit of cultural impact that SNL has had?

Somewhat miraculously, SNL continues to be at least a little bit relevant culturally, but what's the moment from the show's history that you would say has pervaded culture in the most profound way?

Personally, I remember hearing the term "debbie downer" for many years before knowing of the sketch, and while it probably wasn't invented by the show it was almost certainly popularized by it, so much so that it's wormed its way into the cultural lexicon without many people even knowing the origin.

Notes from the SNL50 music special

I really loved this special, especially Questlove’s mashup intro. I jotted down a few artists and the year they played on SNL to dive deeper into later:

  • Gil Scott Heron (1976)
  • The Band (1976)
  • Preservation Hall Jazz Band (1976)
  • Prince - Party Up (1981)
  • Dua Lipa (2018)
  • Color Me Bad (1991) (inspired D*** In A Box)
  • Paul Simon (1976)
  • Devo (1978)
  • The Funky 4 + 1 (1981)
  • Sinead O’Connor (1989)
  • Fear (1981)
  • Phillip Glass (1986)

Would love to hear about artists you discovered through SNL!

SNL50 Experience may come back

Just attended the experience today. Lots of fun, great photos, and cool actual sets and costumes and props from every era.

There was a survey after it was over. It asked questions like “do you think the experience was too long, too short, or just right?” and “What would you pay for this experience?”

Questions like those make me think NBC is considering making the experience, or some version of it, permanent. It’s perfect for tourists, and I could see NBC pairing the ticket with Top of the Rock or the ice rink.

NBC might want to use that space again for the Jimmy Fallon haunted house in October. And I’m not sure about through-put and staffing demands. But it seems like there’s hope for the many fans who didn’t get a chance to see this wonderful event, which only lasts four days.

Philip Glass performs Rubric on SNL, March 1986

Introduced by George Wendt.

As featured in SNL 50 episodes on Season 11 and 50yrs of Musical Guests. The brief visual mash-up in 50ys of music with Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead doing National Anthem was my moment of zen.

Philip performed Facades in place of the shows opening music. This is the only time in show history I’ve heard that happening. He also performed Lighting.

This SNL version is my preferred from the Glassworks album. The synthed vocals are beautiful.
