SNL 50

[corpse]

I watched this and it triggered a good deal of nostalgia. I was not a regular SNL viewer but it seems like I must have caught some of the high spots when I tuned in.
The short film “Don’t look back in anger” was cool.
Adam Sandler’s tune clearly moved him and was some real insight into the SNL psyche- young rising creative types that had to compete with the same.
Eddie Murphy was so solid- he imitated Tracy Jordan and it was spot on. “Four cheese lasagna”- pfuck. Spit out your food funny.
Paul McCartney played at the end and was spectacular- and trotted out his burst.
Lorne Michaels was spared nothing.
I didn’t expect to enjoy it but I did.
BTW- watch it on playback. The commercials could be fatal.

I watched the original as a kid, never missed it. Then sporadically after.
Did not watch the 50th.

Sad irony: Beulshi was the 'last character standing' and in reality he was the first to go, whereas the script had the stlll alive Garrett Morris OD, which was what took Belushi.
