Season 1 Review:
Excellent .... What makes the series compelling aren’t the interviews with performers past and present, which include Billy Crystal, Anthony Michael Hall, Jay Pharoah, Pete Davidson, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Seth Meyers, and Yang, among others. It’s the how-the-sausage-gets-made insights of offscreen folks.

Season 1 Review:
When it sticks to its generalized praise, SNL50 simply feels like its screaming loudly in an echo chamber. But when the project truly does go beyond the usual Saturday-night liveliness and excavates the good, the bad, and the ugly of an impressive run, you really do feel like its honoring the whole history of a show that didn’t just change television, but also the culture itself, one “Live From New York!” at a time.

Season 1 Review:
“SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night” is a fascinating dissection of the series’ later years. .... “More Cowbell” makes a little too much out of the sketch (particularly when there are others that deserve the micro-surgery) but it shows how that defining moment can be the difference between success and failure.

Season 1 Review:
A series of four random hourlong documentaries that comes out on Peacock tomorrow, with each one looking at the show through a different narrow lens. As with all projects like this, the quality level varies with each installment, but they’re all unified by one major thought: ain't SNL great? .... Without Michaels attempting even a cursory discussion about the show, it makes documentaries like these feel weightless and unfinished.
