    I think the early era of SNL has been somewhat forgotten, in the wake of the focus turning towards the Not Ready For Prime Time players, but they really were like a repertory company supporting the more recognized names like Brooks, George Carlin, Robert Klein, Buck Henry. I think a couple of major segments of the early shows were those guys doing standup.

    I never did understand why being "live" was so important to Lorne Michaels and the SNL alumni. It's kind of a William Castle style gimmick when you step back and look at it, like "Terrorvision". It doesn't add anything to the viewing audience at home, except maybe a feeling of being included. But they've religiously stuck to it for nearly 50 years.

      There's a lot about SNL that doesn't make sense in retrospect, and could be helpfully changed if it wasn't "tradition." Not the "live" part so much as stuff that only worked because it was the 70s and everyone was doing mountains of cocaine. Like the insane production schedule and the vipers pit writers room where they write something like four times the material they can use every week.

  • @MrJasonmunoz

    Albert could make a series based in the “defending your life” paradigm. No politics, no religion,(obviously), with a streaming service that will not allow the non-creative to edit his people’s work. Enough mature and capable writers who are fans of his work could make a masterpiece series, absent of cynicism, within that place, with his input. It would be a cultural bookend to “Curb your enthusiasm “, and I would love to bask in its creation.

    • @apseudonym
      @apseudonym Před 7 měsíci

      No religion? Defending Your Life was about your soul going to the place between worlds after you die and having to account for your failures in front of a judge. It was about reincarnation. It was very much a film that had religious connotations.

    BORING YADDA YADDA! I didn't think I would see Conan becoming the modern version of Charlie Rose, with the black background and the self-centred approach to interviewing. Long rambling soliloquies, digressions, questions and discussions with boring guests that just aren't funny, or else repetitive and predictable. Hey Conan, get back to doing what you do best, this isn't it.
