I watched SNL religiously for the first five years it was on.

Me too! Now days SNL is mostly crap. The original cast was the best. Period.

I remember that.

“Guaranteed to ride up.”

That would never make it on any TV show today.

Gilda's true genius knocked me down with her six-year-old Brownie Scout goofing off in her bedroom, The Judy Miller Show, where she perfectly captured the wild imagination and purity of heart most children have without mockery.

Sad that, the world has changed so much and not for the better. ... Never mind

I agree that no SNL cast can compare to the first, but this more recent jeans commercial is pretty hysterical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adPXDTvADD0.

That was funny.

However, I thought it was interesting that the 1980 commercial was 1 min., while the 2020 commercial was 2 mins. This new generation SNL is too full of themselves, (promoting themselves with more airtime, when it could have been done in half the time).
