LIVE CHAT: SNL 40th Anniversary Special

[WendyCR72]

Paul Schaeffer and Bill Murray's lounge singer!

[Galileo908]

Bill Murray's Nick The Lounge Singer singing the Jaws theme made sitting through the last 30 minutes completely worth it.

 

And Paul f'ing Shaffer!

Did anyone else's sound just cut out?

[absnow54]

This segment took a turn for the awesome.

[Samsnee]

Bill Murray showing the new kids how it's done.

[Irlandesa]

Did we lose audio?  Or did Murray just swear?

[AnnA]

Bill Murray looks so much better than either Chevy Chase or Dan Akyrod

[editorgrrl]

They bleeped "god damned."

[Guest]

Did Murray get 'bleeped' or did sound screw up.  It went silent for a couple seconds.

[Jordan Baker]

Bill Murray!

[Morrigan2575]

Did anyone else's sound just cut out?

Yeah, I think Bill cursed Edited February 16, 2015 by Morrigan2575

[AnnA]

Did anyone else's sound just cut out?

 

Yes but just for a second or two.

[Morrigan2575]

Blues Brothers!

Edited February 16, 2015 by Morrigan2575

[Guest]

They just did that without Murphy's James Brown.

[vb68]

No Sweeney Sisters for this bit makes me a little teary.

 

Still trying to figure out why Martin Short is in this segment.   Why not let Bill Murray co-lead it?

[Fostersmom]

We had to suffer through all of that to get to this. 

[WendyCR72]

Quasi Blues Brothers. Good, but ain't the same without John Belushi. But good for his brother for carrying it on.

[Galileo908]

YOU BASTARDS!

 

And the Blues Brothers! Sure it's Jim Belushi but I'll take him over John Goodman.

[absnow54]

No Lonely Island for the musical montage?

[ABitOFluff]

I just remembered I had the King Tut song on 45 rpm! And way to make me miss the real Joliet Jake.

[Fabricationary]

Well that weird musical tribute went on for about 5 minutes too long.

[ebk57]

We had to suffer through all of that to get to this. 

 

Yeah, but it was pretty much worth it.  Pretty much.

[WendyCR72]

Wonder if this'll be on DVD? I'd buy it (and skip the shitty parts).

[Guest]

No Lonely Island for the musical montage?

 

I have to believe we are going to get a Digital Short.

[Morbs]

Just so I'm not entirely negative on this thread, I always get a kick out of Maya as Beyonce.  "That's weird.  I have the same sarcophagus."

[shoregirl]

I laughed hard at "Beyonce" saying Sinatra was good but Kanye said I am better.

[kib]

Finally, Bill Murray...Star Wars would have been better

Absolutely, but I suspect the cost for getting the music rights would be right up there with tonight's after-party bar bill.

[Slade347]

No Lonely Island for the musical montage?

 

Probably makes more sense to put it in a digital film montage, assuming there is one.

[BoogieBurns]

I love the Blues Brothers!

Also, I finally understand the love of Bill Murray. He's so cool, I'm not sure they make em like him anymore.

[Ms Blue Jay]

Can you guys recap the Norm Macdonald OJ joke for me?

 

I also missed Sudeikis in a track suit!

[bmoore4026]

Chris Rock without facial hair is kind of odd.

[Guest]

Can you guys recap the Norm Macdonald OJ joke for me?

 

paraphrased.

 

clip Ron Goldman's last word's would tell us who his killer is

Norm:  I bet they were 'hey! You'reOJ Simpson'

[Irlandesa]

Can you guys recap the Norm Macdonald OJ joke for me?

 

I also missed Sudeikis in a track suit!

I don't recall the specific joke but Norm was talking about how a lawyer said there is no way for us to know what Ron Goldman's last words were.  Norm said "I'm pretty sure his last words were 'there's OJ, he's killing me.'" 

 

As for Jason--he was in a tracksuit.  It was red. 

[Galileo908]

Time for the Eddie Murphy tribute.

[editorgrrl]

Can you guys recap the Norm Macdonald OJ joke for me?

F. Lee Bailey said this week that if the defense only knew what Ron Goldman's last words were, they might be able to find the real killer. You know, if you ask me, Goldman's last words were probably, ah, "Hey, you're O. J. Simpson!"

[Fabricationary]

I have no idea who this is.  

[AnnA]

I laughed hard at "Beyonce" saying Sinatra was good but Kanye said I am better.

 

I can't help but wonder what Kim thinks about Kanye's repeated gestures on behalf of Beyonce.

[Galileo908]

Absolutely, but I suspect the cost for getting the music rights would be right up there with tonight's after-party bar bill.

Using Jaws is most likely why Spielberg is there.

[Ms Blue Jay]

I'm crying

 

To clarify, Chris Rock's words about Eddie, "There is no Next Eddie Murphy", and members of the band standing up when Eddie came out.

 

I consider myself privileged that I remember Eddie's sketches when I first watched SNL.

 

Thanks guys for the Norm recaps.

[bmoore4026]

Holy shit, they actually got Eddie Murphy!

[Morrigan2575]

Eddie!

[chitowngirl]

Good God, as if Eddie Murphy's ego wasn't big enough...

[Morbs]

 

I have no idea who this is.

 

You must not be a transvestite hooker on Sunset then, Fabricationary

[Guest]

I really like Eddie Murphy on SNL but Chris Rock overdid that.  It makes it seem like kissing his ass was all that got Eddie to show up this time.

[Morrigan2575]

That's it?

[Galileo908]

Why was Dick Ebersol's card cutting off Eddie Murphy?

[UrbanShocker]

I really like Eddie Murphy on SNL but Chris Rock overdid that.  It makes it seem like kissing his ass was all that got Eddie to show up this time.

It wasn't?

[bmoore4026]

Only thing I know about Dick Ebersol is that he's the brother to Broadway star Christine Ebersol.

[Irlandesa]

Well that was just weird.  Why not show some Eddie Murphy instead of having him up there as if he were accepting an award?

[vb68]

Wtf happened with that abrupt cut?
