S8 E11 Pilot Season "Saturday Night Live"

from Fanacek · host fanacekpodcast

Before there was SNL, there was NBC's Saturday Night. There was also Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell (Don't worry, it will all make sense when you listen to the episode). There's nothing I can say about SNL that hasn't been said already, so sit back, relax, and let me tell you about the first episode, how it came about, how it was cast, and how half of Hollywood takes credits for helping Lorne create it. Like success, SNL has many fathers. Apparently.
