Forty-five years ago today, on Saturday, October 11, 1975, ”Saturday Night Live" was broadcast for the first time with George Carlin as the guest host. Janis Ian performed At Seventeen and In the Winter. Billy Preston played Nothing from Nothing and Fancy Lady.
”Saturday Night Live"
was sort of the Ed Sullivan of the seventies; I loved watching it for the
variety of personalities and musicians that appeared from time to time (links below).
But the
regulars on the show were outstanding! Jane Curtin, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner and Chevy Chase were a delight to watch week after week.
My favorites were Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin. Radner's Lisa Lubner and Roseanne Roseannadanna were a total scream and I never got tired of watching her in action. "It's always something, if it's not one thing, it's another"

To honor SNL’s 40th anniversary celebration, Pentagram has designed Saturday Night Live: The Book (link below), a visual history of the show and a behind-the-scenes portrait of how it all comes together every week. Written and edited by Alison Castle and published by Taschen, the massive, 500-page book features over 2,300 images, many never before seen, an exclusive interview with the show’s creator, Lorne Michaels, and an exhaustive encyclopedia of all the seasons.
