Live from New York, it's Saturday Night
I'm not certain when my obsession with Saturday Night Live started but it goes way back! I used to dream of being a cast member. This lasted a hot minute until I realized that as an actor you get told no a lot and I don't like being told no. I had VCR tapes of SNL episodes - those I recorded myself and a few that I purchased. The Tom Hanks/Aerosmith episode is the first I remember buying. I watched it over and over and have some of it committed to memory. Hanks is talking to Wayne and Garth about being a roadie for Aerosmith "I have to make sure the scarves are always in the right place."
The show has been through ups and downs but generally, Weekend Update is a bright spot. Of course, Tina and Amy are my favorites. I want to be Tina Fey when I grow up. Amy and Seth and Seth alone are also favorites. I'm enjoying Michael Che and Colin Jost right now. One of the best gifts I ever received was a Tina & Amy Weekend Update set complete with action figures (thank you Rae!)!
Much to Ryan's chagrin, DVR has really upped my SNL game. I now have a my favorites recorded and I rewatch them often. Right now, I can't stop watching the Donald Glove/Childish Gambino episode.
What I really love is when SNL lands an unexpected host, like Peyton Manning. I didn't know much about Peyton before his SNL episode but I loved him after. I'm goofy and I'm a fan of others being goofy. Peyton is for sure goofy in his episode.
No delightful insight today. I just wanted to share somethings that make me laugh and hopefully put a smile on your face. Have a great day!
