Last night was a special episode of Saturday Night Live: a documentary about the show during the 2000's. The special was called "SNL in the 2000's: Time and Again".
The documentary covered many aspects of the show, including the 2000 and 2008 presidential elections, September 2001, the anthrax scare, cast members, how the women have kind of taken over the show with cast members such as Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudoph, and now current cast member Kristen Wiig, the SNL Digital Shorts, and knowing when you're pushing the limit in sketches.
People who talked in the documentary included executive producer Lorne Michaels, producers Marci Klien and Michael Shoemaker, past hosts Alec Baldwin and Justin Timberlake, former cast members Rachel Dratch, Horatio Sanz, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Darrell Hammond, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Will Ferrell and Chris Parnell, writers Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, and current cast members Bobby Moynihan, Abby Elliott, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen, Kenan Thompson and Jason Sudeikis.
I think this was a fairly good documentary. Having been a fan of SNL since November 2009, it was interesting to watch how SNL has changed over the course of the last decade. I know I will continue to watch it for years to come, and my dream is to see it live in New York one day. That will be a dream come true.
The new episode is this coming Saturday, with host Ryan Phillippe and musical guest Ke$ha. That recap will come on Monday if not earlier. I'm excited to watch it.
Love y'all,
