It’s Sunday morning and I’m anticipating the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary show airing tonight. I remember watching the show in its early
beginning in the late 70’s as a teenager.
Of course, there are so many favorite skits and bits that I’m sure we’ll
all be reminded of in tonight’s show.
Can’t wait!

This morning I was watching NBC Today Sunday Morning show and was
intrigued by their story on the SNL Cue-Card Guy. Check out the link and
watch Wally’s interesting story on being the SNL cue card guy for the last 25
years. He must have a million great backstage
stories!!

His story did serve as a reminder of one of my
most fun memories of SNL. I visited the SNL studio on a tour of Rockefeller Center probably around
30 years ago. I wish I could say I actually went to a live show, but the next
best thing, was seeing the studio and remembering my amazement of how small the
studio was. Actually, most of the studios in the building were smaller than you
might imagine.
If you’re as old as I am, you might remember "The Phil Donahue Show," which was
the other studio we toured. Holy wow!
This was a long time ago.
The other great memory of Rockefeller Center
was touring one of the NBC News studios and I got the chance to be the “pretend”
weather girl on the TV screen. Undoubtedly
and for certain NOT “Live!”
Also, looking back, the most meaningful to me,
now, was that I had the chance to visit the Twin Towers of the World Trade
Center.
New York City is an amazing place, however, the
taxi cab jaunts were comparative to a wild amusement ride! Whoa...what an experience!
This Minnesota girl realized it’s just a great city to visit and there’s no place like home!
Put your smile on,
