Talk:History of Saturday Night Live (1980–1985)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Alternate organization
The History of Saturday Night Live (1990-1995) has some improvements that should be considered for the other articles in the series, such as:
- eliminating the Season Breakdown section, promoting all items within it
- moving season-specific comments to the appropriate section instead of lumping them all together in the introduction
- adding a Hosts and musical guests section and providing a cross-reference there to the right section in List of Saturday Night Live hosts and musical guests
If you agree these changs represent improvements, consider applying them here too. Thanks. 66.167.139.170 11:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Larry David/Seinfeld
During Dick Ebersol's time running SNL, Larry David (Seinfeld creator, star of Curb Your Enthusiasm) was one of the writers for the show. Dick didn't think any of Larry's sketches were funny, and not a single one during that whole year made it into the show. One day Larry snapped and angrily quit the show, but when he returned home he regretted this decision. Kenny Kramer suggested he just turn up the next day. Larry did, and lasted until the end of the season. This was later the inspiration for the Seinfeld episode where George quits his job then turns up the next day as if nothing happened.

[edit] Tone
There is some hyperbole and overemotional language used, some of which I will address. It's a damn big article, though. Help! --Lexein 20:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
