FYI: SNL re-run on now, 9pm cst, is from 1976

Nice alternative to the late night Live SNL with Trump, which airs at 10:30 cst.

First SNL aired Oct, 11 1975.

Tonight 1976 show features Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner..etc and Land Shark.
Musical guest "The Band"

I'll skip Live SNL with Trump & watch the original cast right now.

I had no idea that I was watching history being made at the time.

I saw that SNL in 1976 as well.
