Fun show!! Brought back many memories.
Years ago I read in TV Guide that George Carlin was hosting a new tv show. Since I liked Carlin, my ex and I decided to watch the show. We were blown away by how hip and irreverent the show was. We watched it religiously for the first few years.
THe amount of great talent that came out of that show is amazing! George carlin was terrific, one of the best comedians ever, and the talent that came out of snl was indeed amazing, almost every one on the show, was a star in their own right, chevy chase was only on one year and it seemed to me he was on longer, but, he quit after one year.

Oh crap!! I started a thread on this in the movie/tv section. I swore I checked to see if anyone else started one. Sorry Nicky!! I hope I don't get fined or something. Anyway, fwiw, here's my opening post from the other thread: Did anyone watch? I didn't see it but am waiting for it to come on "On Demand." I have seen clips off/on today and it looks hilarious.
I saw clip of opening with Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake rapping. I ALWAYS love their routine. And I saw a short clip of Jane Curtain. I hear there were a ton of guests. Also I heard that Jim Belushi did a Blues Brothers song with Dan Ackroyd.
I haven't watched much in recent years but man, it was a mandate back in the day to be home to watch SNL. I can't believe it's been 40 yrs. uhwhat

Well I got to catch it on On Demand. It came in two parts. I too loved the Jeopardy skit.  It was nice seeing some of the originals again. Eddie Murphy didn't have much of a role; Loved the Seinfeld Q&A with the audience. I agree with MC on the Cali skit. It did get annoying. I must be out of it, cause I am not sure who Edward Norton was suppose to be in his skit but he was good. LOL And OMG, what happened to Paul McCartney's voice? Did he have a cold or is it just age. He was so off key. So was my other favorite Paul (Simon),who has/had such a sweet voice. He wasn't as off as McCartney but both were disappointing. Or maybe they chose the wrong song?? OnDemand did NOT show two skits I wanted to see tho; the Blues Brothers with Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi AND Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon's rap (I hate rap but love their skits)  TIS

NBC is going to rerun the show tonight at 8:00pm Eastern time.
However, I noticed (on my onscreen cable guide), that it's in a 3-hour timeslot; the original live telecast ran a half-hour longer. Unless there's a mistake in the listing, we won't be getting the full show.

SV, It was a 3 hour special. I saw it on Time Warner's "On Demand" and it was in two parts for some reason. Part 1 was 35 (or so min.) and part II was about 1 or so. I KNOW that the Blues Brothers performed (Jim Belushi/Dan Ackroyd) and I know the Jimmy Fallon/Justin Timberlake did a rap number, however that was not part of the special from On Demand. So, I'm not sure what they're doing.  Even eliminated commercials it was short I think TIS
