I hate them

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was really sick, like bed bound, and Lorne Michaels had to feed me soup. Neither of us were happy about it.

‘Saturday Night’ (2024)

Directed by Jason Reitman

[ninetyminutes]

During S1 E12 of Saturday Night Live, John Belushi broke during the third "Lowell Brock" sketch. Though the people at home couldn’t see it, both Belushi and the live studio audience witnessed Lorne Michaels tying Belushi’s shoelaces together during the live sketch. When the camera pulls away, Lorne Michaels can be seen crawling away on the floor, glass of white wine nearby. When Belushi realizes the prank after the sketch, over the applause, he is barely heard muttering, "What the fuck? Goddamn!"

Happy 50th Birthday, SNL!

It wasn't until I went down the Bill Hader rabbit hole in 2019 that I realized how much Saturday Night Live shaped the comedy I grew up with, comedy today, and pop culture in general. It's been on for 50 years but the first time I remember hearing about it was in university, through the Lonely Island song "Jizz In My Pants".

I didn't know Wayne's World, Coneheads, and Superstar were movie spin-offs to popular sketches on the show; that it catapulted Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, and Bill Murray to fame; that it's provided us Late Night hosts, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers; or that I have it to thank for Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig who would go on to create and star in some of my favorite female comedies: Mean Girls, 30 Rock, and Bridesmaids.

I don't know how well those 90s spin-offs have aged (probably not well⁠—even Superstar I couldn't get behind with then), but I feel the need to give tribute to the institution that has paved the way for some of the most original and fascinating comedies in recent years: Bill's Barry; Will Forte's MacGruber and The Last Man on Earth; Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph's Forever; John Mulaney's stand-up specials; Bill, Fred, and Seth's Documentary Now!; Jason Sudeikis' Ted Lasso, and The Lonely Island's Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special — along with all the cool shit they're producing like Palm Springs and I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.
