Throwback Thursday "SNL"


I felt like sticking with our theme of SNL from yesterday, and wanted to show some vintage shots from this iconic program. The show started in 1975, and in 2016, that makes it 41 years old. That just doesn't seem to be possible in my book! Look how young Bill Murray is in that photo? I just love him, he is so funny but can do drama pretty well. My favorite is probably Caddyshack, even though I am not a fan of golf in any way, it is one of my favorite comedies! Steve Martin has hosted a zillion times, and is another great comedy legend. Eddie Murphy as Mr Robinson's Neighborhood is just so classic. Gilda Radner was perfect as Roseanne Roseannadanna with that very classy hairstyle! Gumby and Mr. Bill were such icons in their day. Mr. Bill even had a commercial! 

So, who is your favorite SNL comedy legend? I find it hard to pick just one, there are just too many great folks to choose from!

Barney's Saturday Night Live 2009 Christmas Windows

Christmas is the time the windows in New York City really come alive. I hope however that I have shown you thru this blog that the windows are works of art 12 months a year! These Barney's windows from 2009 were one of my favorites to celebrate 35 years of Saturday Night Live. 
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a live late-night television sketch comedy and variety show developed by Lorne Michaels and Dick Ebersol.It premiered on NBC, in the US, on October 11, 1975, under the title NBC's Saturday Night. It has produced some of the best comedic talents in the last 35 years and many movies have been made with the characters created:
the coneheads were my favorite and they were played so well by Dan Aykroyd as Beldar and Jane Curtain as Prymaat (mom and dad) - their daughter was Connie played by Laraine Newman 

Steve Martin has appeared on the show many times and this was his famous King Tut sketch 

one of the great creators of the show Lorne Michaels 

I think everyone knows Wayne's World which was just so funny 

Chris Kattan's character 

love that the mom reads Vaniety Fair ....very stylish !!

Dad is on the cover of Playboy .........smoking a whole pack at once probably not a good idea!

you should rent the Coneheads movie or some classic Saturday Night Live dvd's for a peek at these great iconic characters!! 
So pretty with the snow falling and all lite up .......hope you enjoyed Barney's 2009 windows!!
