Saturday Night Live

This past Saturday was the 37th season premiere of Saturday Night Live. How has SNL been able to have 37 successful seasons, when many shows struggle to make is through its first season? I think that the reason that SNL is so successful is because the show is constantly adapting to fit the times. For example, the host and the musical guest are people who are relevant in today’s pop culture. One of the reasons viewers watch SNL, is to see their favorite celebrities on the show. Another reason why I believe that Saturday Night Live is a successful show, is because it focuses on more than just pop culture. For instance, the “Weekend Update” is a funny way to present crazy news-stories. The “Weekend Update” sketch is more than just entertainment because it talks about real world issues. Furthermore, the show is never boring. Every host, special guest, and cast member puts his or her own special twist on sketches. Additionally, the show is humorous. In today’s world, with a failing economy and political strife, people want to feel good. Saturday Night Live is the perfect antidote for any kind of problem; it makes you laugh, smile, and think. SNL is one of my favorite shows, it is funny and entertaining. I think that Saturday Night Live will have 37 more successful seasons because it is a show that stands the test of time.
