The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective
Deep Thoughts: Bob & Ray, Jane, Laraine & Gilda
The ladies of Saturday Night Live team up with the two comedy legends for the last SNL “off week” special. Jane, Laraine, & Gilda join Bob & Ray for a show filmed in 8H, produced and shot by the SNL crew, and (except for a Weekend Update) could easily be seen as a decent episode hosted by the duo.
Relying mostly on seasoned bits by the two comic icons the special does tend to, at times, feel bogged down. But there are some definite high points, especially when the writing slides over into the SNL sensibilities.
And of course there are musical guests! Willie Nelson & Leon Russell are on hand to sing three numbers – two of them from their recently released album together.
You read that correctly – Willie Nelson and Leon Russell put out an album together in the late 70s. And it is…A-mazing!
