The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective

Deep Thoughts: SNL 15th Anniversary Special

Two Pints Productions

Take a journey back to fall 1989 as we explore Saturday Night Live's first anniversary celebration. The landmark 15th anniversary special, while primarily a clip show, captures a moment of reflection for the groundbreaking series. Drenched in nostalgia, it celebrates the show's achievements while looking optimistically toward the future.
Bill Kenney of The SNL Hall of Fame joins us to dissect SNL's first major celebration of its legacy. Together, we examine the special's hits and misses, discuss its place in the show's history, and explore why – despite some flaws – it remains a fascinating snapshot of television's most influential comedy institution.
