I will watch about the first 20 minutes or half hour the skits are just not what they used to be!!!!!! I hate to say it but it is not good show like it used to!!!!! Younger people middle aged people and older people all feel the same way!!

Some wins, some duds. Some skits that seem to go on long past the point where the joke was made,…read morelaughed at, laughed at again, and now we're just beating it to death. SNL was created by Lorne Michaels and began in 1975 with the first show hosted by the famous George Carlin. The show follows a consistent format with a series of comedy sketches that lampoon current events and politicians. The caricatures are generally relatable thanks to talented artists and actors, such as Dan Ackroyd's portrayal of the clumsy Gerald Ford, Tina Fey portrayed Sarah Palin (who hilariously appeared side by side briefly), Phil Hartman's hilarious Bill Clinton and Dana Carvey's spot-on impression of George H.W. Bush. The show features a host (usually a movie star flogging their latest movie) and a musical guest (as the years go by, I recognize fewer and fewer of them). It starts with the host's monologue, a few skits, a live song by the musical guest, a few more skits, a "Weekend Update" current events news segment, another live song, and a final skit or two. Usually the host appears in a self-deprecating bit and if we're lucky, the musical guest does as well. Sometimes they'll stay in character and sometimes you'll spot them obviously reading the cue cards. Several actors who appeared on SNL have spun off highly successful movie and television careers. Chevy Chase and Eddie Murphy are now a big stars, but weren't always. Steve Martin, Chris Farley and others. Andy Samberg has a successful television show, Brooklyn 99. Mike Myers made two full length Wayne's World movies out of his Wayne Campbell character with sidekick Garth Algar. Some bits transcend the time since they appeared live, including the Church Lady, MacGruber (Will Forte and Kristen Wiig), Jeopardy! with Will Ferrell (and occasionallyDarrell Hammond and Norm MacDonald). The wonderful Olympia Cafe (cheeseburger! cheeseburger! No Coke! Pepsi!). "More Cowbell" with the scene stealing Will Ferrell appearing with Christopher Walken as Blue Oyster Cult is working on their song "Don't Fear (the Reaper)." Yeah, it's good. Sometimes, it's unfunny. Sometimes, it's downright stupid. But LIVE FROM NEW YORK! IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT! [Review 15993 overall - 315 in New York - 1498 of 2021.]

I'm always a fan of Yelp Events that are a change of pack aka not just based on food and drink. I'm…read morean even bigger fan when events are on my part of town. I grew up a few blocks from this event and had no idea this place existed. It was a little difficult to locate but once we did, it was excellent. We were welcomed inside the studio with a table food of libations and finger foods. A plethora of props and ample space to take some photos. I waited till the end to get some photos, which I regret, but nonetheless, I still had an awesome time. Some folks enjoyed the lights camera action more than others, but everyone was engaged and seemingly had a blast with the camera guys, who were extremely welcoming and helpful.

This event was held a photo studio so they had endless props we could work with. Before we could begin we took a group photo with a mix of people from group 1 and 2. While other were taking their photos we had wine, culture pop, chicken tenders and these delicious biscuits. The owner provided the food from Wings n Things (I think that's the name). As far as photo backdrops there a rose wall, a wall full of tv's, blue wall. For props I opted for a crown, a 90s cell phone, red lips phone and this huge book featuring Rihanna. This was a great event to catch up and meet other Brooklyn elite. The photos came out great. Highly recommend using them.

The CBS network executives had decided to end the run citing unspecified financial reasons. Late Night Talk show host, Stephen Colbert was preceded by David Letterman, whom I had the opportunity to see in-person, whilst he hosted the Late Night Show with his dry sarcastic style Midwestern sense of humor. Mr Letterman hosted the talk show for 22 years. If you can, try to get tickets to visit the iconic Ed Sullivan Theatre before it closes. You can obtain free tickets for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on the website: 1iota.com Tickets are typically released on Thursdays for the following week's taping.

Honestly it's a fun experience if you can manage the time off.P

It was an unusually warm day for this time of year, and The Daily Show's exterior wait line had fans installed to cool people off. Additionally, we were let into the air conditioned interior waiting area a little earlier to allow us to cool off even further. Directions were clearly articulated and repeated so we knew what to do prior to the start of the taping. Waiting outside, waiting inside, and getting seated all went smoothly. Ronnie Chieng was the host and the guest was Zoe Lister-Jones. There was a prerecorded sketch and a live green screen sketch. Ronnie Chieng even spent a few minutes answering questions after the show. He is a lot nicer than his rough comic persona represents. An excellent free experience. Always fun to get a peak behind the curtain.

It was my first time being on a tv show & I gotta say I had a blast ! They both were wonderful, I am a fan of Kelly . So I was so happy. I had a good seat but they always went to talk the other side & never came to my side . Mark doesn't talk to the audience much ! I was very sad about it . Hopefully if I ever get another chance I will get to meet her . Btw, she does engage with the audience. I loved that about her . Waiting outside on the cold was kinda worth it . But will I travel hours & stand outside for hours in the cold again ? Not so sure ! Btw, on her show they actually let you use your phone

Live With Kelly and Mark recently moved to Hudson Square and it is a nice are and not as crazy and crowded as upper west side. In order to check in, your entire party needs to be there. There is a wait before you go in... after you check in you will get a wristband with a number on it. Once you start going in, you go through security, then take the elevator down to the holding area. There is restrooms downstairs and water fountain. While you wait, you there are pictures of Kelly and Mark and some guests they have had on the show. Hint: Dress your best if you want a chance to sit close to where the guests come out. Once they call your numbers, you will go in to be seated. Inside there are two levels, lower and upper, they will tell you where to sit. So much fun to be part of the taping. While waiting, videos of Kelly and Mark show on the screen which is cool. Kelly and Mark interact and take pictures and selfies with audience members during the breaks. Gelman and staff cue the audience when to clap. Stump Mark was fun! For those who want to dance, you have to audition and the winner will get picked based on the audience... congrats and great job Emily for our taping (we voted for you!)! :) Besides Kelly & Mark, The View and Tamron Hall also films downstairs so make sure you are on the right line. We got to see the 10/2 taping with Glen Powell and Paige DeSorbo and it was Kelly's Birthday celebration! Happy Birthday Kelly!!! Big Fudgie the Whale cake to celebrate! Too bad it was too frozen for knife to cut through ... the audience couldn't get to share in after... but all good! Still had fun! Don't forget to purchase merch on the way out!! Picked up I Love Stump Mark t-shirt and a pair of the black Live With Kelly & Mark mugs!! We'll be back again! Love the show!
