Saturday Night Live Turns 40

While I was at the health club today with my pilates group one of them mentioned at the end of class that tonight was the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. 

 We all immediately went into character remembering our favorite skits that made us laugh, and all of the talented people on that show over the years.  It takes a lot of guts to perform in front of a live audience let alone on national television.  There is no director commanding "cut" for a retake of a scene gone awry. 

SNL has been part of my my life since it began in the 70's.  Many nights we would stop what we were doing to tune in.    Here are some favorite skits, but some of the BEST ones (IMHO) are not here:(
