I’m not old enough to have seen the first episode but Saturday Night Live was a staple when I was growing up. Any GenX will feel nostalgic when they hear that famous line “Live from New York, It’s Saturday Night!” late at night. Staying up late and trying to stay awake for the whole episode was a right of passage as a kid. If 50 years of SNL has taught me anything it’s that sometimes a good laugh is all you need, even if it’s at your own expense.
I was too young to see Chase, Belushi, Radner, Curtain, and Aykroyd pave the way for future generations. Although the first cast was the best, the cast from the 90s brought me the best memories.
