Why is Lorne Michaels a "big deal"
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 29th, 2021 12:51 PM Author: twinkling incel ticket booth He produces basically the worst show on TV, watched by like 600k people. What's the big deal? Oh wow Chevy Chase was on the show. I don't get it. Maybe it's because the cast members are all sycophants and mention his name constantly. Plus Tina Fey basically glamorized him by making a show where he was depicted. This thread will get like no replies because nobody cares, which proves me point. Discuss.

Date: September 29th, 2021 12:53 PM Author: Curious filthpig azn part of the "gonzo" appeal in the 70s was to make ironic reference to the fact that this was a tv show. sort of like letterman in the 80s running outside the studio and involving cameramen in gags.
So the cast members made jokes about the "bosses" by name, and signaled how countercultural the whole thing was |

I guess he's a reliable, competent producer who sort of keeps cast people from self-destructing, but him making himself a character on the show was pretty irritating |
|
Date: September 29th, 2021 12:59 PM Author: twinkling incel ticket booth Yeah it's irritating and ruinous.
This is the clip where Jim Breur talks about how toxic the SNL "culture" is, and somehow at the end of it, Lorne comes out saying something Cool despite basically firing Jim for no reason lol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YQvWK9GPsY |

Date: September 29th, 2021 1:03 PM Author: slippery sweet tailpipe Will be very interesting to see what happens to the show after he leaves assuming he's so important.

Date: September 29th, 2021 1:08 PM Author: Curious filthpig azn tbh havent seen the show in 20 yrs but from clips that float around its already skin suited.
they did cold opens to sincere hillary campaign songs. they hold moments of silence for whatever lib tragedy. it is not really a "comedy" show, much less an "edgy comedy show". Its now a "clap at the moral" affirmation experience. |

Date: September 29th, 2021 1:13 PM Author: cream razzmatazz forum It was a major institution for comedy, especially in the 90's and even through the early 2000's. People got their big start on SNL and went on to make bazillions of dollars in blockbuster comedies. SNL was the big purveyor of adult comedy to the general public in 90's. In the past few years the impact of network tv on the culture has diminished significantly, especially with youngs, but older people still remember.
