How One Failed Season Almost Canceled Saturday Night Live

- Saturday Night Live is one of the longest running, most successful network TV shows in history. Looking at the juggernaut that is SNL today, it's hard to imagine a time that Saturday Night Live was so terrible, it was almost taken off the air completely. It wouldn't be until SNL's creator Lorne Michaels returned to right the sinking ship that it would go on a run not unlike anything people have seen before. Thankfully it wasn't cancelled, and Saturday Night Live is still going strong nearing it's 50th anniversary.

SNL 81-84 was basically the Eddie Murphy show featuring Joe Piscapo
he singlehandedly saved SNL from cancellation.
@@stingrey1571Not true, but whatever…
In a book on the history of SNL it was said, Eddie Murphy's success went to Joe Piscopo's head.
Wow. Just gonna act like Tim Kazarinsky and Mary Gross didn't happen, eh?
@@ogami1972yeah, but. 👆👆
The combination Crystal/Guest/Short, though a stopgap measure, was one of the greatest seasons with a ton of memorable classic sketches - not to be dismissed.
the most impressive part of snl to me is it’s consistency since it’s 11th season to push out stable careers for majority of its cast.
yeah! v impressive
Yeah. I think that consistency is because after the 1980’s there developed a “AAA minor leagues” feeder system: the improv troupes like the groundlings, second city, UCB etc.
These train and give
audience experience to really good talents and let them develop characters.
So by the time they get to snl they are already pretty good and snl takes them to the next level.
1:30 that’s still Dan Aykroyd, not Peter
That's FRED GARVIN, MALE PROSTITUTE!
Give SNL credit. Their writers have had to write for some suspect hosts such as Nancy Kerrigan, Steve Forbes, Steven Segal, George Steinbrenner, Paris Hilton, and Kayne West to name a few. As Loren Michaels once said "SNL does not go because it's ready; it goes on because it's 11:30 pm."
Still better than modern day SNL.
I was at an SNL show during the Ebersol era, not live but just taping Eddie Murphy skits to include while he was off shooting movies. At the end Dick Ebersol was having obvious fun spoofing the leaving audience that they could “go downstairs to eat and come back to see more”. Eddie Murphy was having even more fun, still in the James Brown hot-tub yelling at the audience “gwan now get the f-k out! Get the f-k out!”
You showed Aykroyd as Fred Garvin in place of his brother LOL
I got to talk to Charlene Tildon about the infamous Saturday Night Live. She appeared with Charles Rockett where he cursed live on the air. She claimed to me that he was fired right from the stage by producer when the show ended
SNL is all about writing, and most of the time, they seem to have missed it!
They do spray and pray. If you write a thousand sketches some of them will be good 🤷♂️
Its definitely a difficult task, that's for sure.
The contrast between Eddie Murphy and the rest of the 80-81 cast can be summed up pretty well with Gail Matthius. While Murphy became a blockbuster actor, Matthius mostly focused on voicing a million cartoon valley girls (which itself is something she had done on SNL).
Not that there’s anything wrong with that - we all respect Shirley the Loon, don’t we? - but it’s still a world of a difference
Gilbert Gottfried was a member of the cast for just that one season, but he hadn't really found his comedic voice yet, literally and figuratively.
Peak SNL was early 2000s and now it’s hit or miss with 60 percent being miss.
I do like some of the modern cast, Heidi Gardner, Sarah Sherman, Michael Che and Colin Jost are pretty good, everyone else feels very replaceable to me though
Most people think the peak was when they were in high school or young adults, myself included. So late 80's and 90's for me. Phil Hartman was just huge for me for his versatility, but also loved Carvey, Sandler, McDonald, Miller, Myers, Jackson etc. But early 2000's was also very solid with Farrell and Tina Fey. Since then, however, I haven't kept up with it.
@@jimmym3352late '80's & early '90's was definitely the peak era of SNL, even better than the original cast.
@@johnbrennan4449 I agree totally, having watched SNL from the start. Like any other era, the one you cite didn’t hit a home run every time. But damn, it was awfully good on a consistent basis.
The original years in the ‘70s were great at the time, because it was different and fairly bold. But in all honesty, most of it doesn’t hold up well today. I would guess a lot of younger people today would watch the original show and wonder what the big deal was and how it even succeeded.
The irony of SNL is that its gimmick is that it's a live showcase of up-and-comers. Sometimes they'll flop, sometimes they won't. But for comedic purpose, it's more of a time capsule to future generations than it is something which is objectively the best in certain years. The "wild and crazy guys" don't age any better than the Roxbury guys. And the political humor? Forget about it.
What I find funny about it is that the stuff that transcend generation gaps is commonly pretaped and sometimes doesn't feature cast members. Fake commercials relate because we're aware of these products. Of all the Eddy Murphy bits, the one that seems to get the most laughs from people years later is the parody of "Black Like Me" for example, in which he disguises himself as a white guy and we see a minidocumentary showing people give him things for free just because he's white. Even when it comes to recurring characters, "Toonces, the Cat Who Could Drive a Car," a bit which features the players as straightmen, reaches its punchline with a cat puppet crashing a car, mainly because we've all seen dumb kids shows like that.
Memories...this part of SNL was during my senior year in high school, and I remember talking about it with friends.
Looking back at the 84-85 season, I do appreciate that Dick Ebersol allowed Billy Crystal to do live improv in Fernando's Hideaway, which was an enormous gamble considering that it wasn't a scripted segment. And Crystal was so, so good in that segment.
In the opening for Season 12 (1986-1987), Madonna reads an "official" statement from NBC that says the prior season was "only a dream, just a horrible dream", or something like that, lol. I've watched every single season since 1975, and, yeah, those years without Lorne were ROUGH...really rough. His return in 1980 was like when Steve Jobs came back to run Apple after years of floundering.
I always thought it was strange when i started seeing retrospectives of the 1985-86 season as some failure. It wasn’t one of the best, but had some very funny sketches. it was very experimental. It had a lot of odd pieces that didn’t fit together so well, but it did launch Lovitz, Dennis Miller, Damon Wayans, Joan Cusack, and helped Downey and Hall into adult roles. I personally thought it was better than all but maybe one Dick Ebersol season.
Nah. The Eddy Murphy show was genuinely clever.
Charles Rocket takes a lot of crap that is grossly unfair. He went on after SNL and had a fine movie career and passed away a few years ago. The actors were ok and the problem with the 1980 cast was that the change at the top was too much change with no continuity of cast or producers. These retrospectives on the 1980 cast always take a shot to the chestnuts at Charles Rocket and this nonsense post is no different. First clip was-surprise-go right at Charles Rocket! He deserves A LOT BETTER as he was a good comedy actor. Remember NBC put the show on hiatus in January of that “lost” year which was the kiss of death for developing the cast.
He was my neighbor, he actually killed himself sadly.
I liked these Dark Years of SNL. Recently watched those seasons and there were some real hidden gems in there. Gilbert Gottfried was fun and his sketch about a man confessing but being directed by the detective like a diva really cracked me up. Also feel bad for that cast, especially Charles Rocket who really had what it took to be the new face and really was done in by backstage politics.
Its pretty awesome that this show is turning 50. So many ups and downs. Everyone has their fave cast era..... mine is Nora Dunn/phil hartmen 80s seasons. But i also have like some of the more current people like Mikey Day.
Just happy we had Norm.
Up to a decade ago it had something still.
Now? From time to time a good host.
Norm forever
I liked Vanessa Bayer and Cecily Strong, I stopped watching when they left.
I watched all of this stuff live. I loved some of the cast in the Ebersole years.
Tim Kazurinski was unsung. I also liked Brad Hall. Julia Louis Dreyfus was awesome on SNL.
Brad married Julia and still are together.
I’d like to see you dedicate an entire video essay to Charles Rocket alone, that guys career was pretty tragic really…
So Harry Shearer was both added by Micheals’ immediate replacement AND Ebersol? Huh? So he was added to the cast, then fired when they cleaned house, then added again?
No. Harry Shearer was added by Michaels in the final season of his first tenure, 79-80, the fifth season. He volunteered to stay after everyone else walked, but they didn't want him. He had absolutely nothing to do with SNL '80 or Jean Doumanian. Four years later, Ebersol hired him alongside Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest. And then he left halfway through the season.
SCTV came on in 1981. I became a huge fan - great characters, sketches and especially because SNL sucked so badly at the time.
SNL was doing so badly even NBC was looking for a replacement. Picking up a show that had produced 3 seasons already was great. Dick Ebersol probably tried to get everyone from SCTV to join SNL. He did hire Catherine O'Hara. But he also got Michael O'Donoghue to return. That led her back to SCTV & Robin Duke to SNL along with Tony Rosato. They joined for episode 13 of season 6 & were both there through season 7. Tony was fired & Robin did 2 more seasons. Ebersol, of course, didn't get a big star from SCTV until after it ended its run on Cinemax when Martin Short joined.
Charles moved two houses down from me years back, he ended up killing himself in the woods behind his house.
SNL was almost cancelled twice..early 80’s and 94-95 and 95-96 seasons. Those were the worst years. Early 80’s was just Eddie Murphy as the only star and 94-95 saw the last years of many Greats who just didn’t seem to care as much as they had movie careers (Sandler, Farley, Myers, etc) and 95-96 was a completely new cast minus a handful of actors but it was terrible. 95-96 was the first season of Will Ferrel but rookies only do so much
This explains how Animalympics got the voice talent it did.
Charles Rocket is the most deadly thing out of Fall River since Lizzie Borden. He almost killed SNL.
I watched SNL from the second episode on. I never missed it. It was so popular, that an episode in July 1976, coincided with San Diego Comic Con. They were going to show a movie at midnight, and then delayed it till after 1:00 am so that people could watch SNL. I gave up a number of years ago since I just didn't find it funny anymore.
Watched them all since I was a kid. And worst seasons were the last couple of years ever since TIna Fey left.
6:52-6:56 - Did you really say “Julia _Louise_ Dreyfus”? 🤦🏾♂️
Love your content
That picture you identify as Peter Ackroyd is in fact Dan Ackroyd
The reality is that Eddie Murphy was the breakout start of the 1981-1984 cast.. however.. the reality was that most of the cast were far too used to prerecorded segments. Eddie, Joe Piscapo, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus were the three best at live comedy at the time.
Sadly.. nowadays.. *_SNL_* beyond needs cancelling.
0:22 bro looks like max headroom in business school
I grew up with the 84 (Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, etc) cast and I think it was one of the best seasons. Those guys are comedy geniuses.
To go from that to Robert Downey Jr, Anthony Michael Hall, Randy Quaid the next year, that’s what had the show on thin ice. You can tell the people making the decisions weren’t comedy writers at their core. Fixing that revived the show
That said I stopped watching around 2000, but my parents have been watching for all 50 years!
It’s pretty interesting how this thumbnail changed like 5 times 😂
As it happens, I have quite a few videotapes of SNL from seasons 7-up, with Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, Julia-Louis Dreyfus, Mary Gross, Tim Kazurinsky (a real favorite of mine you completely failed to mention!) and others. There's a HELL of a lot of good stuff in there. One of my all-time favorite skits was "Buckwheat has been shot!", which managed to parody the assassination of JKF and the soon-after killing of Lee Harvey Oswald, and they managed to stretch out the joke over several consecutive weeks! "We will be here tonight and every night, UNTIL this senseless killing stops."
It was when all of them left that I completely lost interest, after maybe a month. What blew my mind was when I recently played those few episodes back decades later and realized that with one exception (I forget the person's name), EVERY new person on the show became wildly famous and popular-- YEARS later. But on SNL, they were TERRIBLE. All of them. (Yes, including Robert Downey Jr.) So I was rather surprised, a few years later, to keep hearing that what replaced them had become so immensely popular and successful.
Al Franken has long been a favorite of mine, and continues to be to this day. I love his schtick of a being a total schmuck with delusions of grandeur. I really enjoyed his short-lived sitcom, LATELINE, with him and Miguel Ferrer. Ferrer's character reminded me way too much of an actual boss I once worked for in the 90s.
Eddie Murphy saves the show.😀👍
Thank you for taking Eddie out of the thumbnail.
I always thought for young people (pre-streaming and
DVR) that Saturday night was a night to go out, so the ratings wouldn't be as high if it were on a different night or make it this long lasting cultural thing.
I watch every week. Might as well be called sunday morning on youtube
Yeah, is funny because usually in the intro the cast is hanging around clubs, chatting and drinking while you are at home watching this
Pretty solid '86 through '16 seasons.. for some reason, when this show is popular for the stars instead of the ensemble, the creativity seems like it's trying to prove something or convince you of how great they are.. as opposed to having fun making a great show. The best casts were when ratings were middling & general opinion was that the show had endured way past it's expiration.. current production had that '84, '85 vibe. Few moments here & there, but since I have been born in '78, long as I remember, I'm catching Saturday Night. Even those early, mid '80s.. a kids could count on Mr. Bill & Toonces the driving cat.. moments.. late 80s & 90s redeemed a lot.. want cool to admit you watched it but it was funny than a muhfuh in that era, just in time for high school in
@6:43 during the writers' strike was when I started watching SNL! I had not seen any of the previous cast, so when I started watching, it was Jim Belushi, Joe Piscopo, Eddie Murphy, Tim Kazurinsky, Julia Louise Dreyfuss, and the rest. I actually enjoyed watching SNL at that time.
That was the 7th season, not the transitional 6th he’s talking about here
After every season being garbage since 2015 i was konda hoping theyd cancel it already
here we areeeeeee
@@Nerdstalgic worst timeline.
Holy shit, I never realized how much Gaten Matarazzo looks like a young Al Franken until seeing some of these clips.
what's really sad is how many people over the age of 63 or 64 will tell me they quit watching the show once the original cast was done after season 5. they never wanted to give any new cast members a chance. i don't watch it much any more, mostly because i have no idea who the hosts and musical guests are, but come on. lots of talented performers over the years. i watch micheal che and colin jost doing the news on youtube, lord are they hilarious. and keenan thompson is a gem too. i remember when he and kel mitchell did a kids' show that my son absolutely loved. give credit where it's due.
Brian doyle-murray was a member of the original cast he was there at the beginning believe he was a writer as well as appearing
SCTV > SNL
SCTV is great :)
It's crazy to think that SNL was nearly canceled after one failed season. Modern SNL can survive repeated failed seasons.
"..replaced with now iconic stars: Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman and Victoria Jackson."
One of those is not considered iconic in any stretch of thd imagination.
Most people consider Jackson a complete loon these days
6:24 - wanna try that again?
I thought 85-86 was the end 😅
I discovered these early years in the 90's when Comedy Central aired reruns and since 1991 I've always watched SNL even through the turbulent cast turnovers, currently I don't bother watching them live I just stream them on Peacock that way I can fast forward the crap musical acts.
It's always fascinating to me when something so successful in one decade IMMEDIATELY falls off a cliff at the beginning of the next decade.
I found myself chuckling at just snippets of the ‘bad season’ whereas I find SNL in general to be painful to watch. 🤷🏻♂️
Legendary
yessssss
8:34-8:38 - What in the world kind of sketch was THAT?
They already changed the thumbnail?
You are engaging now so it looks like it worked. *edited spelling
Who cares?
@@user-vw4rm2gi3w Literally many people who care about SEO and engagement.
If you only plan on commenting and never creating anything, you don't need to worry about it.
@@mmmFreshBrew I just wanted to know if they changed it or if it was just me, idk what you mean it "worked"
Loki amazing Robert Townsend was part of the SNL cast. Would have been pretty sick
I didn't remember that Damon Wayans was part of the cast.
I actually prefer SCTV. The show didn't overstay it's welcome and a lot of those sketches still hold up. decades later.
what about the last 6 years? SNL is nothing like it was with Ferrell, Falon, Kattan, Tina Fey, etc.
It’s always fun to be early.
the inner sanctum
Back in the day there was just nothing good on tv so they were forced to watch it.
People are too cynical now
Cant take jokes
And are obsessed with cancel culture
To laugh or enjoy anything anymore
And some people are too indoctrinated (or just plain willingly ignorant) to think for themselves, never questioning the narrative or looking deeper into why things are the way they are.
Former KGB Agent Yuri Bezmenov on disinformation tactics.
Yuri Bezmenov:
To change the perception of reality of every American, to such an extent that, despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.
It's no longer "jokes" when it is purposely meant to create anger and division.
You need to look up "Yuri Bezmenov, Four Steps for Ideological Subversion".
These Liberal writer/activists constantly belittling Trump and Conservatives would be referred to as "useful idiots" whose purpose is to create division and help destabilize society before being "deleted".
(And before assuming I am a MAGAtard or Trump follower, I will let you in on a secret....It's the Conservatives using the "useful idiots" as a means to create social and economic instability so Conservatives can pin all of our problems on "progressive" Liberals, then offer the solution to a growing Marxist threat---A fascist takeover.)
Here, I will even help you get started on the research.
Steps one and two of the "Four steps for ideological subversion" (Yuri Bezmenov, 1985)
Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). *During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people. As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism,* the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.
Communism and Religion
Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. *To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”*
Eliminating American exceptionalism, *fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc.* National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National History is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.
Destabilization - the purpose of this step is to change the status quo, particularly the country's economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. *The intent is to create a massive government permeating society and becoming intrusive in the lives of its citizens.* This can take from two to five years to perform, again with the active support of academia pushing youth in this direction. *Here, entitlements and benefits are promised to the populace to encourage their support.* Basically, they are bribing the people to accept their programs.
Bezmenov claims after this stage is completed, the naive college professors are no longer needed and since they will undoubtedly protest government policies when they discover the truth, they will be disposed of quickly. He cites examples of this occurring in Nicaragua, Grenada, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.
“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. *For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more.* They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power-obviously they get offended-they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. *They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”*
The only change, as I mentioned earlier, is that it is Conservatives (not Marxist-Leninists) using these people. The result is the same, though.
I stopped watching a while ago I think the writing and performances took a dip. But the last one I've seen was the Beavis and Butthead skit that was good though.
Still time to axe the show.
"embarisingly still the norm?" check out some demographics
*Senator Frankin
Am I the only one who thinks SNL was never really that great even in its golden age, it did have its moments though
Idk, SNL has some funny stuff
It's a crap chute.
You'll find a gem here and there.
No, you're not the only one. 🙂
It's mass appeal comedy. The sometimes have great jokes and even rarer a fully great sketch, but most of their stuff is mid or straight bad.
Then why are you even wasting your time watching/ commenting thinking and obsessing with its quality? Seriously I want to understand you people! If I don’t like something I don’t spend ANY time watching or even thinking about it! Do you have to watch it for work or something?
I feel like SNL now is archaic all they do now is political, sports and pop culture sketches at least back then they had original ideas
Franken was not funny and thankfully didn't take over. That year and the next few SNL almost dropped off the map. Can't remember much of it. Piscopo wasn't funny. When Lovitz Jackson, and Hartman, Carvey, etc. came along that was a great era.
Didn’t watch. But appreciate the honest thumbnail change.
One? Try dozens? SNL sucks!
Charles Rocket was a better Chevy Chase than Chevy Chase.
" embarrassingly still the norm" ? get a grip ! ridiculous thing to say !
I'm early 30s, and have never found SNL to be entertaining. Some good skits, but never a whole episode.
Commie Hunting Season.
Victoria Jackson was terrible, Who thought she should be on the list of up and comers. She's a clown compared to the others.
4:04 ugh of course you had to shoehorn in a racial angle 🙄
Dana Carvey was great on SNL and has no career. Robert Downey Jr was terrible on SNL and has a great career.
THINGS SEEMED FUNNIER IN 75. IF YOU GO BACK AND WATCH NOW NOT THAT FUNNY
casey rocket >>>>> charles rocket
A shame about Charles Rocket. He made everything he was in better tenfold
Honestly i liked Charles Rocket, i dont think he was nearly as bad as some people make him out to be. He wasnt rhe best, but not as bad as some would say. He might not have been as good as Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo, but i enjoyed him better than anyone else on the cast at the time
The ads that kept interrupting your video made me quit watching it. Sounded interesting tho
Snl sucks
yeah, it comes in waves. Sometimes its great. sometimes not so much.
Well, have you seen it last 5 years or so?

Chevy chase did 2 seasons
He left in the middle of the 1976 season. After the winter break he was gone.
rarely funny, just a launching pad and more evidence the public will drink shit if the TV sells it
There’s still time to cancel SNL…. never too late.
The Eddie Murphy sketches are really hilarious and show how much of a generational talent he is. Everything else is unwatchable.
Who cares about the colour of the actors skin. Funny is coloublind
SNL is awesome. SNL is trash. SNL hasn't been funny since the original cast left. SNL hasn't been funny since Eddie Murphy left. SNL hasn't been funny since the mid-1990's. SNL hasn't been funny since Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, and Tina Fey left. Ever since Aidy Bryant, Kate MacKinnon, and Cecily Strong left, SNL has gone downhill. The reality is...SNL has always been up and down. That's the nature of sketch comedy. Some skits are awesome, but not every skit is going to hit; in fact, most of them don't. Someone said the best analogy of SNL is that it's like baseball. You step up to the plate each time and more often than not you're going to strike out, hit a ground ball and get thrown out, or hit a pop up or fly ball for an out. Occasionally you will hit a few singles and doubles, and every so often you'll hit a home run. Likewise, not every season will be remembered. Most will be just mediocre, but sometimes you will be good enough to make the playoffs and if you're lucky you'll win the championship. About half of the SNL skits flame out. A few are mildly amusing but are quickly forgotten, but only a few of them become so good that they are remembered years later. Whether it's two wild and crazy guys, the Bass-o-matic, Larry the lounge singer, Mister Robinson's Neighborhood, Gumby, the Church Lady, Wayne's World, Phil Hartman's impressions of Frank Sinatra and Bill Clinton, Chris Farley auditioning to be a Chippendales dancer, Matt Foley, the motivational speaker who lived in a van down by the river, the two cheerleaders, more cowbell, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, MacGruber, Celebrity Jeopardy with Sean Connery, Black Jeopardy, or any of the better Weekend Update segments with Chevy Chase, Jane Curtain and Dan Aykroyd, Dennis Miller, Norm MacDonald, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, or even Colin Jost and Michael Che, those are the skits that have hit the big one and stood the test of time.
It should be canceled. It hasn't been funny since 13
The show is cringe on steroids and only the bloopers are funny, but it has given us some amazing talents.
you're not wrong
All white cast is "embarrassing"
Cool...
Nora Dunn and Victoria Jackson were never funny
Im old enough to remember when SNL was funny.
You lost me at “embarrassingly all white.” Try not to pander so hard next time.
