Pete Martell November 1, 2021 Share November 1, 2021 Happy Halloween, everyone. It's been 40 years since the Donald Pleasance/Fear episode aired. There's a rundown here (whether all the details are right, we'll never really know), which includes a tidbit I'd never known before - that Black Flag was also booked to play SNL before this performance. https://www.denofgeek.com/culture/snl-halloween-fear-punk-rock/ Dennis Perrin, Michael O'Donoghue's biographer, tweeted a cut sketch from this episode, written by Nelson Lyon and Terry Southern: I wasn't sure where to put this, but since the main talk of SNL is its first five seasons, I decided to just post it here. It's a new Garrett Morris interview. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/snl-veteran-garrett-morris-dave-chappelle-comic-genius-1235036790/ 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/112041-vintage-episodes-snl-through-the-years/page/4/#findComment-7091928

KWalkerInc November 13, 2021 Share November 13, 2021 (edited) The yearly special featuring clips from past Christmas sketches is scheduled for Friday, November 26--just a few days after the Thanksgiving one. It's another example of the networks scheduling Christmas programming that I want to see a bit earlier than I would like, but I suppose I can just record it (or watch it on demand). Also, the Christmas special airs at 9:30, so it's only 90 minutes this year, even though the Thanksgiving one is still two hours. That's kind of weird, because they seem to have more good Christmas sketches than Thanksgiving. I don't always see the Thanksgiving one, but I remember some comments that it had a lot of sketches that were just chosen because it had people eating dinner and weren't really tied to Thanksgiving.
