Are you a fan of the TV show Saturday Night Live? The show first premiered back in 1975, and has been on the airwaves ever since. One of SNL's pioneers in comedy, the shows first head writer, was born in Sauquoit New York. Meet Michael O'Donoghue.
Time will tell if SNL manages to up its Season 42 ratings surge with Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, but the latter two weeks of October are shaping up nicely as well. Not only is Emily Blunt confirmed for October 15, but so too will Tom Hanks and Lady Gaga make their SNL returns.
SNL is built for a bit of turnover here and there, but that doesn’t remove the sting from losing some of its best not-ready-for-primetime-players. To wit, Season 42 has some surprising departures, including series veterans Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah.
