Watching. Pretty good and pretty interesting.

Re: SNL in the 90s

I watched it. Pretty good. I didn't realize that SNL fired so many members. I thought many left to pursue their movie careers, but according to this show, guys like Sandler, Farley, Norm McDonald and Mike Meyers got fired.

Watching that reminded how much I used to enjoy SNL. The early to mid 90's were great IMO. Those were probably my favorite years because I really enjoyed Farley, Sandler, Meyers, Carvey, Rock, Hartman and the rest of the crew at that time.

It was great to see bits of the classic sketches.

Too bad Rob Schneider, Adam Sandler, and Kevin Nealon didn't appear to give their thoughs.

I was surprised Sarah Silverman was included because she left on bad terms.

I didn't learn anything new and most of the cast/writers/producers/execs were just kissing each other's asses. By watching this show, you would think Shannon, Oteri, and Gasteyer were the holy trinity of female comedians. I thought all 3 weren't funny during their time on SNL.

I did not realize that they were fired either. Found that interesting.

So they fire Adam Sandler yet allow Tina Fey to be on the show for more than a week? No wonder the show sucks.

Re: SNL in the 90s

Yeah, I had never realized they had fired Sandler or Myers. I had always thought they left on their own terms to do movies.

I thought they were hilarious. Especially Oteri. I was a sad dude when she left.

Re: SNL in the 90s

I was surprised that Norm Macdonald went on the show seeing as how he was treated.

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't show more skits in their entirety, but besideds that it was pretty good.
I was also under the assumptions that all those people left on their own rather than being fired. Well I guess SNL showed them as almost all of them went on to become huge movie and TV stars.

That one story about the reporter that spent so much time with them only to stab them in the back in his article was very interesting.

Re: SNL in the 90s

Kinda changes that whole "jumping into the polar bears skit" from being kinda lame and too long to being rather neat and symbolic. Everytime I see that skit from now on, I'll watch it completely differently.

Re: SNL in the 90s

Norm MacDonald dropped the "F" bomb during the news segment. I thought that's what led to his dismissal. But this show has made some terrible casting choices over the years. It had so many great moments, yet so much waste. Apparently they even passed on Jim Carrey way back when. Oh, and I co-sign the Oteri comments. I can't believe she didn't go on to do more.
