Hmm a clip show with Kenan & weekend update with Tina? Has the workings of the best SNL episode of the season.

The idea that Lorne put late-80's GG Allin on the schedule for the Christmas episode because he heard something at a dinner party, and no one ever questions or contradicts Lorne no matter what, gave me a reasonable chuckle.

Yeah, I don't count the lockdown  zoomisodes because those were planned.This is just completely flying by the seat of their pants, it seems like, with no real plan: only reactions. I'm sure there has never been a change this big, this close to air, but also wonder if the show has ever just not aired at all when it was planned to be live.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Has the show ever cancelled before? Writers strikes have caused shows to not happen, as did Covid back in March last year. The closest to a written, rehearsed, ready-to-air show being canceled was in October 1986, when the World Series was being carried by NBC and game five went into extra innings. After waiting around until something like 1 AM, Lorne decided to tape the show for the (exhausted) audience and air it later. The show would air two weeks later. But this, tonight, hasn’t happened before. To be clear: Still not sure what the show will be tonight. I’ve seen what was set to be the show rundown for Dress and there were the usual mix of pretaped and live sketches.

There's a good possibility that tonight's show goes down in SNL history as a massive disaster. The setup of a close knit group of actors practicing up until the day of the show having a multi-cast-member outbreak at the last minute resulting in recasting, a total shutdown of the audience, and canceling the music guest means that any further developments, like, say multiple other cast members testing positive in the next two weeks will be a PR nightmare risking a 2-3 month total shutdown.

A good time to mention that everyone should be wearing high-quality respirators in all indoor spaces. When asking yourself "is this safe to do?" Ask yourself "can I wear a fitted mask of at least N95 protection that seals to my face for the entire duration of the event without removing the mask?"

Latest word is the three pretapes recorded for this week (“Christmas Socks,” “An Evening with Pete,” “Homegoods”) will air, along with some older seasonal material, with new intros recorded a few hours ago. The whole show is already recorded. Presumably WU will be done remotely but don’t know for sure. It’s too bad, there was a live sketch called “Charmin Bears,” would have liked to see that. I always thought that using archival cut bits would be a good Break Glass in Case of Emergency thing in such a situation. They’ve been taping and saving dress rehearsals since 1985, there’s a deep catalogue

What? SNL is all about celebrating its high points? The first few seasons, 1988 to like 1993, 1996 to Early 2000s, and then the Wiig/Hader/Samberg era?
