Studio 8H

And I cannot imagine, I cannot think of another instance in my time watching SNL live as an adult person where I've ever been so moved by a musical guest at a musical performance.

And just the sheer contrast of what we got from how I view some of the Shane material What Rosalie gave us, which I thought was high performance art and also taught me that Studio 8H is capable of production value and putting on a show, I'm blown away by it.

The fact that nobody's talking about it is driving me insane.

So I don't know if that's just...

Like...

After a decade of working at 30 Rock Studio 8H and 17, when you think back on the host, which ones made your week the easiest and which ones made your week the hardest?

Well, the easiest were people that elevated, and heroes.

You know, when someone like Will Ferrell came back, he's just so good.

I hope.

The aisle of Studio 8H? Like, come on.

Wha- uh, okay, so are, you're in? Where are you?

I'm curious.

Some people didn't like that.

Cinema Blend writes, "There's a murderer's row of stand-up comedians who've taken the stage at Studio 8H and have gotten mild applause at best." Their theory, the average person sitting in the Studio 8H audience and even the average person at home is not the same person who goes to stand-up comedy shows, like the 70 something thousand that went to go see Shane Gillis at the Eagles stadium.

Those people? Yeah.

Cinema Blend writes, "Certainly, they're not the same people who would buy a ticket to go see Shane Gillis, so what he's joking about and how he's joking about it are probably not the sort of thing that the average person in the audience at SNL is predisposed to laugh about.

Enjoy that.

Next up, SNL This Weekend, comedian Shane Gillis returns to Studio 8H for his third time as host.

In a new promo, the record-breaking stadium stand-up got quite humbled by cast member Veronica Slowikowska.

Hi.

The band played a rousing rendition of Birds.

Then the band kicked into a medley of I Care and Dull, which sent Studio 8H into a massive frenzy.

So here was Turnstile on Saturday Night Live.

I feel it in the night.

Same thing would happen on Ed Sullivan later at night on certain Sundays.

But that is September 27, 1965, in Studio 8H inside NBC Studios, then as now located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan, where you can see Saturday Night Live still given their all, for example, whenever they have a musical guest.

So it is something that connects, for example, geese or whoever Saturday Night Live has on to the animals 61 years ago.

Very cool there.
