I grew up with Saturday Night Live, sometimes being allowed to watch the first half of it when I was young. The comedy show first aired on October 11, 1975 and has since become one of the longest running shows on television. Lorne Michaels is the brains behind the operation and sometimes gets 10 seconds of air time every now and again. The show has turned out an impressive resume of actors, and I would even go as far to say the best show to launch an actor’s career. Those include John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Will Ferrell, and Amy Poehler. The parodies are priceless and one can endlessly watch YouTube clips of the classics like Cowbell, Schwete Balls, and Jeopardy. But more recently, the show has been struggling mightily.
