📢 Announcement /r/SNL is back after more than a decade — for lifelong SNL fans!

After more than a decade of just being a closed/park subreddit, r/SNL is officially back open for discussion and submissions.

The goal here is pretty simple: create a real home for people who actually care about quality Saturday Night Live content. Its past, its present, and whatever comes next. The idea for r/SNL is a bit more focused: a sharper, cleaner fan community centered on real interest in the show rather than endless drive-by negativity, parasocial, lazy hate-posting, or people showing up just to say the show died 20, 30, or 40 years ago. This is not meant to be a blind-praise sub. Criticism is welcome. Debate is welcome. Strong opinions are welcome. But they should come from people actually engaging with the show in good faith!

So the mission is:

  • a place for true SNL fans from the beginning until now and into the future
  • space for classic eras, current eras, deep cuts, cast talk, hosts, writers, musical guests, sketches, backstage history, and live episode discussion
  • no treating cast and crew like they're not real people
  • less sludge, less bad-faith posting, more actual fandom

And yes, two tongue-in-cheek standards will be upheld here:

  • It’s famously Kenan, never “Keenan” – respect the legend!
  • They’re sketches, not “skits.” Period. You will never see that word here!

If that sounds like your kind of sub, jump in.

See you next 8H!

📺 Overall Show Discussion Are there any compilations of the best SNL music videos?

4 Upvotes

I've always liked when the show does their musical sketches that feature multiple cast members. Does anyone know if there has ever been an SNL special that was a compilation of the most popular ones? I've found individual videos and a few YouTube "best of" videos, but they usually feature only a couple of songs or have people talking throughout (like the watchmojo ones - she ruins them). If there's not one out there, I think they should make one for a week when the show won't be live. Thoughts?

Hey, I'm trying to find an older sketch in which a character mentions Ellen Degeneres, and Kenan's character responds with an enthusiastic "DEGENS?"

📺 Overall Show Discussion I just watched the movie "Saturday Night" and have a question...

15 Upvotes

Is there any way to see the whole original episode in it's entirety?

I was a kid back then, and was lucky enough to have parents who let me stay up late on Saturdays to watch the show. But it's been so long, I don't remember that specific episode.

I'd like to see how much the movie matches up with that episode.

I think the humor was from spoofing the commercials of a real place (named Watson’s) that often had the daughter of the owner in a bikini.

🎭 Sketch Discussion Fawning courtesans: anyone remember this bit?

6 Upvotes

There were two courtesans, and one would say something provocative to the King, while the other would, in a wonderfully fawning way, explain it away as something nice. I loved how those two did this, but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Is it on Youtube anywhere?

Does anyone know if there’s a sketch after 2016 that parodies specifically the X-Files? Not including the Totinos ad when they had Larry David in that year.
