LIVE CHAT: SNL 40th Anniversary Special

[helenamonster]

Fun fact: a guy my dad grew up with used to animate the TV Funhouse sketches.

 

"Dick in a Box" will never get old.

[M. Darcy]

And a second of Seinfeld in Oz.

[Galileo908]

Not enough taped bits from the 70s and 80s. Where Swill? Little Chocolate Donuts?

[bmoore4026]

So wish The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders was a real thing.

 

Love the hair gag.

[Maverick]

 No Schitlz Gay Malt Liquor?

[Galileo908]

Adam Samberg and Andy Sandler sums them up these days.

[Machiabelly]

The Midnight Cottiere of Sinister Intruders, is one of the best bits ever.

[ebk57]

I love this song!!!

 

Okay, maybe not the actual song, but the bit is great!!

[dcalley]

Nora Dunn for a split second!

[Galileo908]

So wish The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders was a real thing.

 

Love the hair gag.

Same here.

 

And Zach in Sia's hair ALMOST made that whole performance worth it. Almost.

 

And a new Digital Short about all the times the cast broke!

[Morrigan2575]

This song is great

[Guest]

They are ruining my memories of Digital Shorts now.  Don't use Digital Shorts for a clip show.

[absnow54]

Aw this is cute

[AnnA]

I've never seen Kanye perform.  The bad news is I just did

 

Holy crap!  What was that?

 

The good news is that I took my laundry out of the dryer and cleaned the litter box while he was on.   :)

[Galileo908]

"Who's that guy on the stage in between commercials? LORNE!" I love that detail so much.

TV Funhouse was the best.  Colbert did a ton of voice work on those.

[ABitOFluff]

Here's a classic one from Fallon and Sanz.

[bmoore4026]

Fallon and Sanz.

 

Well, I have to leave now.  I'm hungry and Walking Dead is on.

 

SNL special, here's my last word to you:

3 1/2 Hours!?  Goddamn!  It's Saturday Night Live, not Lord of the Rings.

"And here's a classic one of Fallon of Sanz"....pretty much sums it up. 

[absnow54]

"And here's a classic one of Fallon of Sanz"....pretty much sums it up. 

The sad part is that they didn't even feature half of them. Fallon and Sanz were the worst.

[blackCatCollins]

that song just made all the bs worth it.

[AnnA]

I just did that!  And was afraid I'd miss something.

 

Timing is everything...

 

Yes it is and you missed absolutely nothing.

[Guest]

that sing just made all the bs worth it. 

 

I'm of a mind that all the bs just made the digital short seem better than it was.

I would love to watch 90 minutes of scenes where the cast members broke (not just fallon and sanz but gilda and everyone).  It would be far more watchable than a re-run.

[Galileo908]

Bill Murray hosting the In Memoriam. Cue the waterworks.

[Arynm]

Samburg and Sandler were epic! That song was kawesome. I started recording the show just so I could have it to watch whenever I wanted.

Where is Julia Louis-Dreyfus?

[mtlchick]

Oh man this is going to be hard to watch. 

[M. Darcy]

Sniff

[WendyCR72]

Bill looked like he wanted to bawl. Damn, and THIS film with Belushi is hella ironic.

[prican58]

Here we go. Tributes. This Belushi clip is great,

[grooveshinney]

Where's Tim Kazarinski? One of my fave sketches was with him and Jim Belushi on. talk show not knowing that big moments in history happened because they were drunk and partying in college. "John F. Kennedy is dead?!?"

[Guest]

Did you just heat the 'oh, no'  Someone didn't realize someone had died.

[blackCatCollins]

Bill Murray hosting the In Memoriam. Cue the waterworks.

my exact reaction

[Growsonwalls]

Aww Phil and Chris :(

[Vella]

Some of the clapping is very "who?"

[mtlchick]

The Hartman/Farley shot...UGH.  (tears) 

[Galileo908]

Jan Hooks

 

Al Siegel

 

Don Pardo (MASSIVE applause for him)

 

Benny Brillstein

 

Tom Davis

 

Andy Kaufman

 

Danitra Vance

 

Charles Rocket

 

Phil Hartman

 

Chris Farley

 

Michael O'Donoghue

 

John Belushi

 

Gilda Radner.

 

Jon Lovitz (LOVED that callback)

 

EDIT: RIP to Francisco Franco. Who is still dead.

[VCRTracking]

It just started on the west coast. Yeah I've only been guessing by tweets. Loved Debbie Downer and Mary Katherine Gallagher.

 

Jon Lovitz reaction, ha!

Edited February 16, 2015 by VCRTracking

[ABitOFluff]

Belushi and Gilda were always my favorites and catching the end of the VH1 marathon this weekend reminded me once again of their greatness. Both could have done so much more if they had more time.

 

Poor Lovitz.

[ebk57]

Just came in from Spain...  

[chitowngirl]

And Generallisimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

[MostlyC]

Gilda.  Jan.

 

Also?  Jon Lovitz?!  Noooooooooooooooooooo! 

 

I predict he gets a sitcom out of this.

[prican58]

The Franco bit by Bill was perfect. That old bastard just wouldn't die.

[Guest]

Saying a late entry just came in was mean.

[blackCatCollins]

i started crying very ugly tears the second they showed Jan.

[Galileo908]

Some of the clapping is very "who?"

I'm sure the applause sign turned on for Danitra Vance.

[helenamonster]

Aw, In Memoriams always get me teary.

 

In other news, I've been sitting in the exact same spot for over four hours and can't find the remote.

[WendyCR72]

That Hartman/Farley clip...damn. Who knew the "So Long, Farewell" skit honoring their departures would be so sadly ironic just a few years later? Now it's vaguely unsettling.

[Arynm]

I cried hard at the Chris Farley part

[M. Darcy]

I was worried for a second until he said Spain.
