    For whatever reason George Carlin wasn't in a sketch on the first debut show of SNL but he did do stand up and introduced Musical guests and was more like a MC. He did a monologue. Second show was Paul Simon with special guest Art Garfunkel. Mostly music but there was a taped segment where Paul took on a NBA player in a hoops contest. Marv Albert was involved. He won and in the closing was presented with a trophy. Rob was the third host. It felt more like a variety show on his episode.

    Laraine Newman's rationale sort of confuses me. Just because you play recurring characters, it doesn't take away from your being able to be versatile on other episodes and in other sketches.
    Steven Segal, why host if you're going to be a wet blanket? Do you know how many of us would LOVE to be on that show?!! Besides, people know you're ACTING, even if it's silly and comedic.
    Nora Dunn and Sinead O'Connor, The Diceman is just a character, an onstage character. While there's much that he's said\says as this character that I wouldn't say and don't agree with, in actuality, as this character, he's making fun of bonehead guys that are truly like this.

    • @wallyman292
      @wallyman292 Рік тому +2

      I agree with your comment on Newman. Hell, she basically shot herself in the foot when you think about it! So many of the best skits on that show, especially with the original Not Ready for Primetime Players, were recurring. . . Coneheads, the Bee family, whatever that skit was with Bill Murry and Gilda Radner where she plays a homely nerd and Bill's her boyfriend, Jane Curtin and Dan Ackroyd's "Point/Counterpoint", etc. etc.

Two words . . . Milton Berle; I also feel there are far other numerous examples of men dressing in drag and let’s not forget one of my favorite movies Billy Wilder’s “Some Like It Hot” with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon . . . in which Tony Curtis finally admits to the male character who wants to marry him that he’s a man and the character’s response is “Oh well, nobody’s perfect” (or something along those lines . . . too lazy to do thorough research).
