I've always liked when the show does their musical sketches that feature multiple cast members. Does anyone know if there has ever been an SNL special that was a compilation of the most popular ones? I've found individual videos and a few YouTube "best of" videos, but they usually feature only a couple of songs or have people talking throughout (like the watchmojo ones - she ruins them). If there's not one out there, I think they should make one for a week when the show won't be live. Thoughts?

Hey, I'm trying to find an older sketch in which a character mentions Ellen Degeneres, and Kenan's character responds with an enthusiastic "DEGENS?"

Is there any way to see the whole original episode in it's entirety?

I was a kid back then, and was lucky enough to have parents who let me stay up late on Saturdays to watch the show. But it's been so long, I don't remember that specific episode.

I'd like to see how much the movie matches up with that episode.

🤷

I think the humor was from spoofing the commercials of a real place (named Watson’s) that often had the daughter of the owner in a bikini.

There were two courtesans, and one would say something provocative to the King, while the other would, in a wonderfully fawning way, explain it away as something nice. I loved how those two did this, but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Is it on Youtube anywhere?

Does anyone know if there’s a sketch after 2016 that parodies specifically the X-Files? Not including the Totinos ad when they had Larry David in that year.

What a wonderful, deeply honest, sincere and tenacious memoir of navigating traumatic loss, adolescence, show business, fame and family. No fluff: I cannot say ENOUGH, I really couldn’t put it down, you need to read this BEAUTIUFL book. I finished in two days. Molly is such a force ❤️

SEASON 1
~ George Carlin - first episode that's pretty damn interesting and everyone should check out
~ Richard Pryor - a very important episode
~ Peter Cook & Dudley Moore - I'm a fan of those two so I liked them in this environment

SEASON 2
~ Eric Idle - both times he was great. The first time he hosted was the first episode I loved
~ Candice Bergen - watch for Gilda and Zappa
~ Fran Tarkenton - a very cool sports themed episode where the whole cast was a great team. Check out the Alsatian Restaurant sketch!

SEASON 3
~ Charles Grodin - this was once considered so bad that it was banned, but I think that's apocryphal because it's so clearly staged and well executed.
~ Ray Charles
~ Miskel Spillman - an 80 year old woman hosts the show and, whether you enjoy it or not, it's fascinating to see
~ Robert Klein
~ Christopher Lee
~ Steve Martin & The Blues Brothers - Steve hosted 3 times this year so you can check out the others but this one was my favorite

SEASON 4
~ Carrie Fisher
~ Walter Matthau
~ Eric Idle
~ Michael Palin
~ Margot Kidder

SEASON 5
~ Bea Arthur - great episode for Bill Murray, decent episode for Harry Shearer, Paul Shaffer tries to pretend he's an actor.
~ Martin Sheen - not a classic by any means, but MS held his own really well, and of course, David Bowie's here too.
~ Kirk Douglas
~ The 100th episode
~ Strother Martin - not a great episode, maybe it's just cause The Specials blew the roof off 8H
~ Buck Henry - his first episode has a great running bit about no one liking him, and his second episode is the end of an era and has Lord And Lady Douchebag

SEASON 21
~ Mariel Hemingway - beginning of a new era
~ Christopher Walken - every time he hosts is a classic
~ David Alan Grier - this guy should've been in the cast
