42ND SEASON OF SNL

 

The time has come for new seasons, the leaves are falling and the weather is cooling down slightly for San Diego, and now the new season of Saturday Night Live is released.

Lorne Michaels and Dick Ebersol created the series in 1975. Over the past 50 years the show has aired with a total of 796 episodes. It has won the most Emmys out of all series with 45 in total and 202 nominations. It has also ranked 7th of top 100 entertainers.

It has launched multiple famous actors towards their career including Chris Rock, Will Forte, Tracy Morgan, and most importantly, Eddy Murphy.

The 42nd season premiered on October 1st on NBC. Starting the episode, the host Margot Robbie introduced hit artist the Weeknd, as they played their new ranking songs Starboy and False Alarm. Alec Baldwin took over by impersonating Donald Trump in a parody of the presidential debate. While Alec Baldwins acting career seems to be nonexistent, his portrayel of Trump is pretty much spot on

Although not much is known about what new skits the show will be performing in the future, new actors plan to hit the stage for the remainder of the series, including a new trio of Mikey Day, Alex Moffat, and Melissa Villasenor. The talented cast s season well, and the comedy is better than ever. However, famous stars Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah, and John Rudnitsky will not return and are taking their talent elsewhere.

Grab your coffee and get ready to stay up late, for the next episodes airing at midnight every Saturday.
