Watching the 40th anniversary special right now. Let's discuss our favorite moments and memories of Saturday Night Live. What do you remember?

All of my favorite skits come from around the same time... the time of Chris Farley, David Spade, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Phil Hartman, etc.

Here's one classic skit...

This made me smile. So glad they brought it back.

John Belushi imitating Joe Cocker. RIP, both men.

Any skits with the Spartans in it.

I missed this, but I caught the first episode on Saturday. Some people say the show has declined, some people say those people are just wearing rose-colored glasses...I say the oldest stuff is still genius. But I also feel that way about most long-running series. When ideas are fresh and formative, of course that's when the work will be the strongest!

My favorite skits are Weekend Update...from any time period. That is the one segment that has always been and always is gold, IMO.

I also caught the very first episode on Saturday. That, I wasn't expecting at all. But NBC was showing some classic SNL these past few months, and I think the first episode was the one to end this run.

I was one of those weird people who liked Mad TV more.

Mad TV had some great skits for sure, but I think they relied heavily on some of the characters that they developed, more so than even SNL. Still, you have to love Kenny Rogers:

I liked both Mad Tv and SNL. The year I started watching SNL was the year Mad Tv premiered. I used to do a Ms. Swan impersonation.
