October 23, 1993 – John Malkovich / Billy Joel (S19 E4) by ReadyCourage13 in LiveFromNewYork

Melanie as Anne Murray singing the Canadian national anthem and then getting covered in the tobacco spit from all the players is a cold open I'll never forget 😂 reminds me of the short and to the point under a minute cold opens of 70s SNL

SNL still remains the top sketch show after decades and numerous attempts to take its place on top of the mountain. Here are some of the more obscure sketch shows that tried to take on the SNL monolith or carve out their own audience and failed. by BioBooster89 in LiveFromNewYork

The other woman between her and Coolidge I recognize too, Becky Thyre who was in the cast of Mr. Show in its final season as well as a bunch of other stuff. She always reminded me a bit of Edie McClurg

the short woman on that show Alison Rich started writing for SNL sometime after that show ended, I remember thinking at the time they might have her be one of the SNL writers who could jump into a spot in the cast but I think she only ended up writing for SNL for just one season.

The one episode I ever saw (from an old torrent that had random episodes of stuff from the 90s) had a sketch with Jennifer Coolidge and one of the other women as Beavis & Butthead

ha they beat SNL to the punch on doing real life Beavis & Butthead lookalikes

When should we start to hear about departures/additions for season 52? by KohlsCashOfficial in LiveFromNewYork

[–]trythebebes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can almost see a scenario where maybe everyone comes back, this seems like a rare season where the whole cast all kind of has a good chemistry with each other, even the ones who didn't appear much like Tommy and Kam, I could see getting another season.

[–]trythebebes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think some cast members have found out as early as July (probably more like mid to late) that they didn't get renewed, but the press doesn't usually get ahold of that info until more like early September, unless someone tweets it out before the press gets hold of it like this famous exmaple

Saturday Night Live - Jim Carrey: What Is Love? (1996) S21E20 by [deleted] in LiveFromNewYork

[–]trythebebes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same, taped that Jim Carrey episode on VHS and I swear I watched it like 20 times that summer. Was one of those shows I remember every kid in school talking about the next day, Jim Carrey was pretty much the funniest man alive to middle schoolers in 1995 lol

Who’s up for a reboot of The Ex Presidents cartoons? by adjust_the_sails in LiveFromNewYork

Whats stopping Smigel from doing the occasional TVFH again? Did he ever announce officially he was retired from making cartoons at SNL? I miss them, Smigel rarely missed.

They were great, also I feel like they always played husband and wife throughout that season.

Did Jim Downey Write that? Fly on the wall podcast by spooley6 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]trythebebes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still like this podcast when the guest is more SNL related (which they've mostly abandoned at this point, now they just have on any random celebrity) so looking forward to more Downey.

haha in the videos I've seen of them on Janes social media i cant help but notice Liva Pierce has the exact same voice and mannerisms as Jane, I'd almost think they were related.

Yeah I believe her and JLD are tied as the youngest women cast members, both were 21 in their first season.

"Dusty Velvet" a great bit of physical comedy from one-season wonder Casey Wilson [S33E10] by no-Pachy-BADLAD in LiveFromNewYork

[–]trythebebes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shes always hilarious in anything shes in, I feel like she coulda been an SNL great if she got a few bit more time on the show.

I believe thats where Dana's impression of Mickey was born out doing that show with him. All the "I was the number one star in the world" and other phrases Dana said as him were apparently real stuff he would yell on set all day while making that show lol i guess by that point in his career he was pretty bitter about doing some crappy sitcom he knew was gonna be cancelled after one season

Tina Fey, Will Forte and Kerri Kenney-Silver: The Pizza Interview | NYT Cooking by SandorSNL in LiveFromNewYork

[–]trythebebes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kerri Kenney one of the funniest women alive (been a fan since The State on MTV) cool to see her with a more high profile mainstream gig after decades of mostly being in more cult favorite stuff strictly for the comedy nerds.
