Pass.

And really, you'd miss this because of her?

Anyway, didn't know they were going to pregame.

Rolling Stone Magazine rated all 141 cast members. She came in at 140.

you're not going to tell us who was 141?

Of course he went on to a great career.

She beat out:

Robert Downey Jr - who was considered the worst (totally forgot he spent that one horrible year on the show), those weird muppet things they had the very first season (which clearly didn't last) and Jim Breur, which I've seen Jim Breur do stand-up he was ok and I would definitely rate him higher than Victoria Jackson but not by much.

But it hurts me to have my movie star crush beat by her in anything!

I rarely watched after some point. I do remember Breur's goat man, I think.

While SNL is a shell of its former self, imo, it still makes me laugh.

mainly for old times' sake. Haven't watched it in years.

British Bakers, Downton, and the hottie preacher in Grantchester. Woot.

"Grantchester" is some good stuff.

I had no idea what to expect other than bike-riding, crime-solving preacher when this series started, but I'm lovin' it.

Last week's euthanasia episode got to me, too. And the whooping cough scenes.

So I looked it up, and it sounds like my sort of show. Thanks for the recommendation you didn't know you were giving. I'm going to check it out.

homosexuality, euthanasia... not exactly fluff topics, and very well done. Endeavor with Shaun Williams is another outstanding Masterpiece offering:

I'm still thinking of that "povitica"!

I love Downton, but I am really digging Grantchester these days as well. And yes, that Vicar is certainly easy on the eyes!

Was Googling the show earlier today and found this interesting:

The naughty Vicar, yes, yes. Only one episode left!

I will give it my best shot.

Groovy

Just FYI.
My DVR is set. Should be quite a good time.

Which means that I won't be able to watch for another 3 hours!

<*sob!*>

Jesus, how are they going to fit all those appearances into the time allowed?

Ugh.

Saturday Night Live has sucked for decades anyhow. It was last really funny back in the early 80's.

The tour of the winery with Janet Jackson. The Sofa King commercial. Colonel Angus. Trust me - you'd be rolling.

without sitting through all those commercials.

For 40 years, this is where our comedy has come from. And a senator!

Weekend Update led to Daily Show.

Lorne Michaels and Not Ready for Prime Time Players a national institution.

First time I saw Blues Brothers, John Cougar, Lana Del Rey! Every popular musical act imaginable for last 40 years!

See ya, I'm settling back for 4 1/2 hours of the best memories of my television life!

I'm dug in for the night too & pizza's on its way.
Enjoy the evening all.

High school weekends either staying up or coming home early for SNL late 70s they shaped a generation!

We're already set to record it. Tend to doze off on these things after awhile - thanks to that ol' aging thing...

I must confess to being spoiled rotten on SNL. I'm old enough to remember Season 1. I hope they show a Gilda Radner clip!

just red carpet on now with Matt Lauer. Alec Baldwin is on first, 15 time host http://www.tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=59956

Father Guido Sarducci

interviewed by Al Roker.

love them, is this gonna go for four hours?

so it will go late to 11:30PM est. Mike Myers on now, Waynes World or Dr Evil?

she was trying, but failing to be funny. She just came across as stupid.

Akroyd says tonight will be epic

Come on - leading off with her. Not a good move when they have all that talent there.

ha!!

at least she was a relatively good sport about the whole thing.

Or she's too dumb to know that they weren't laughing with her.

Of course that might have been because she turned her ass toward the camera, she apparently doesn't know how to dimply sit down (and shut up).

I'm kind of an SNL junkie.

Lorne Michaels (with his family attending!) says the show will run 3 hours and 30 minutes

Its where so many of us learned to question!! And where are we without intelligent humour?

#SNL40!

n/t

That is a lot of people to fit into a short television show.

So you have the one hour red carpet and then over 3.5 hours.

Had no idea, thanks.

'Celebrity Jeopardy' with Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds voted the best sketch of the 1990's

Loving these great memories.
This is reminding me of friends who gathered to watch SNL. Havent seen most since early 80's when the group dispersed.pretty cool cuz my memories of them are all back when we were 20/21yrs old.
Great times & SNL brought us together every sat night.
This show tonight is American Pie..

Chris Farley..he had me laughing till my eyes had tears. So dang funny.
Trying to think of other SNL cast & hosts who are gone.
Am sure there will be a proper & tearful memorial to those amazingly funny comedians.

VH1 spoof with Christopher Walken and cast

This country needs more humor!!

all the way from the Weekend Update desk!

I never watch SNL much so I missed the shows when he was on, but the movies he has been in have been great.

I loved Molly Shannon's "Mary Catherine Gallager"..she was so funny

Steve Martin with the opening introduction, Melissa McCarthy Tom Hanks and Alec Baldwin too

This is great. Am so glad they did this reunion show

Tony Bennett and Matthew McConaghuey

lets see if they play the Jim Carey one which Loren didnt watch

I went to (elementary) school with a girl named Mary Catherine Gallagher. No doubt she hates that character.

That character took over her life..I hope she had a s3nse of humor!

I don't have cable but probably would not watch it anyway. I figure for every good thing there will be one I can't stand, as I think the majority of the sketches are poor.

She was so sweet and so badass. I fell in love with her again.

The other Sweeney Sister, Nora Dunn, is absent. Too bad.

cheney I mean. and when they make a movie about the warmongering war criminal.

Just seen Chevy on the lead in to the show

good start DEBBIE DOWNER!!! MARY KATHERINE GALLAGER

Emma Stone doing Rosanna -danna, Ed Norton as Stefon

Paul Simon, and Paul McCartney with musical tribute

love it with Lorraine Newman

He was so happy to see it!

Great show so far as these things go...

Because her grandparents enjoyed the show.

hope it goes viral!

Grew up with it and SNL kept me company 24 years ago through my first childbirth! Love SNL!

'Baby Im Amazed'

Pauls, politician perfectly coiffured dyed hair .vs Richards lice infested rat's nest.

they brought back John Belushi, Gilda Radner, and George Harrison (musical guest).

You have to know when it's time to retire.
