(Not) live from New York—it’s Intelligentsia's season finale! This week, we break down the legacy, chaos, and cultural chokehold of Saturday Night Live—from its scrappy 1975 debut with Lorne Michaels and the “Not Ready for Prime-Time Players” to the comedy powerhouse that launched icons like Eddie Murphy and Tina Fey.
We debate whether SNL still hits, make the case for our all-time casts, revisit legendary hosts and less than legendary musical guests, and pitch our own unhinged sketch ideas. Plus: the show’s massive impact on politics, pop culture, and what the future looks like post-Lorne.
