Saturday Night Live,” NBC’s Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, enters its 42nd season in October for another year of laughs, surprises and great performances.

Since its inception in 1975, “SNL” has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation; and, as The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show’s Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999: “In defiance of both time and show business convention, ‘SNL’ is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture.” At the close of the century, “Saturday Night Live” placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly’s list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.

[Kibbles]

Holy shit Mikey Day is that guy from David Blaine's Street Magic

 

[Sanjuro]

This musical act sounds like he was born to only make strip club music.

Cathy Anne is so good

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This is the weakest "let's make fun of both of them so no one gets mad at us" bullshit I've ever seen. Unless these morons actually see Clinton and Trump as somehow equally bad.

Clinton is normal politician bad. Equating that with Trump's unprecedented garbage is a joke.

 

[twinturbo2]

... the hell was that?

 

[Sanjuro]

This is the weakest "let's make fun of both of them so no one gets mad at us" bullshit I've ever seen. Unless these morons actually see Clinton and Trump as somehow equally bad.
