Every Episode Ever
The story of Saturday Night Live is the story of time. There is the fifty years that it has been on the air, an astonishing run by any standard. More importantly, the show has to fill ninety minutes every Saturday night.
As I have written, ninety minutes can fly by like a pleasant dream or linger for a veritable eternity. The infamous Louise Lasser episode seems to drag on interminably.
