SNL: The Lost Years
Added 2024-03-18 16:18:57 +0000 UTCWhen we come back a week from Wednesday, we will be doing so with our next SNL episode, which will pick up at the end of the classic era and go all the way until Lorne Michaels' return / the hiring of Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman and therefore the kickoff of what we millennials think of as the start of the modern era. It's weird, honestly, and it's not most people's favorite version of the show, but it's worth discussing nonetheless. Here are the clips we'll be discussing for this episode. Details / airdates to be posted tomorrow!
Sketches:
- “SoHo Lesbians” (S6E10: Debbie Harry)
- “Little Richard Simmons” (S7E1: No host)
- “James Coburn Is a Homosexual” (S7E11: James Coburn)
- “Focus on Film: Making Love” (S7E12: Bruce Dern)
- “Penny Lane” (S10E11: Roy Scheider)
- “Pinklisting” (S11E1: Madonna)
- “Mr. Monopoly” (S11E12: Griffin Dunne)
- Monologue (S11E16: Catherine Oxenberg)
- “Lesbian Pick-Ups” (S11E18: Anjelica Huston)
Comments
Also the racial epithet in the monologue oh wow
