August 22, 2006 -- WHAT's going on be hind the scenes at "Saturday Night Live" this month may be more dramatic than any thing you'll see on the two prime-time shows starting this fall based on the famed late-night comedy.

[lormand]

Hooray, Tina Fey is gone.

I may start watching again.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Is she the jackass who was filling the Chevy Chase slot on their "newscast"?

[evets]

SNL needs more cowbell...

[lormand]

Yes, Tina Fey's only shtick that I can think of is bashing Bush.

I know nothing of "30 Rock", and since she will be stenching that production, it is guaranteed that I will never watch it.

[Sam's Army]

I think the last time I thought the show was funny was about 1997 or so.

[Gay State Conservative]

After Ackroyd and Belushi left,SNL hasn't had much to offer.Mike Meyers,Eddie Murphy and Dana Carvey is about it.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Yeah, never liked her then.

[durasell]

FYI:

Mike Meyers based many of the Dr. Evil's characteristics and expressions on SNL producer Lorne Michaels.

"C'mon on people, will you throw me a bone!"

[LIConFem]

Haven't watched SNL since 1979 or so.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Maybe SNL can get canceled instead of Stargate SG-1 (since it was canceled today)...we're doomed.

[4yearlurker]

Tina Fey is one the reasons I stopped watching SNL. The show has gone from funny to mediocre to embarrassing.

[Wolfie]

Whoa! Stargate was cancelled? How is the Sci-Fi channel going to fill the other 12 hours a day?

[retrokitten]

I love, love, love Dana Carvey. A few years ago he was on Jay Leno imitating Ozzy Osborne. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath.

[retrokitten]

Wrestling and Ghost Hunters.

[durasell]

How is the Sci-Fi channel going to fill the other 12 hours a day?




Harlan Ellison is going to host a daiy telethon to raise money for all the guys who played security officers on Star Trek who are now homeless and living under freeway bridges in L.A.

[dfwgator]

MAD TV is much better.

[dinoparty]

Me too...Mr. Peevers and all.

[SJSAMPLE]

It jumped the shark over a season ago.
Bringing on "Muppets in Space" ("Farscape") retreads was the death knell.

[GianniV]

--Hooray, Tina Fey is gone.--

I thought I was the only one - Tina Fey, along with that Amy chick, WERE NEVER FUNNY.

Sorry to all the females, but there are very few funny women. Maybe Gilda Radner; but not many.

[lormand]

I was stunned to see Mad TV spoof Kim Jong Ill because I am so used to seeing SNL and most other Hollyweirdos bash Bush all the time.

More power to Mad TV.
