You’ll never think of Uncle Milty the same again. Excellent recreation of the 90 minutes before the first episode went live 49 years ago of Saturday Night Live and the original Not Ready For Primetime Players. Thank you Lorne Michaels for your vision. Everything up to the last second before airing is, to quote a friend, fraught with peril. It’s funny, it’s raunchy, quotable, it’s ironic, iconic, and will hold hold up over the next 50 years as the pinnacle of sketch comedy, musical introduction of so many new and established artists’ work, satire, silliness, sex and drugs and rock and roll, political import and standing up for one’s beliefs. Launching the long lived careers of writers and comedians, who we miss, admire, and quote at random times (land shark, that’s some good bass, it’s always something, Jane, you’re an ignorant slut) even now. So glad I got to witness this live in 1975 and looking forward to the 50th Anniversary show and beyond. Rating: one pair of bumblebee antenna, a gallon of fake blood, a bassamatic, best Weekend Update / show opening ever.
