1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Jerzy and Amanda.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Gem Nation from The Daily Os. It's Emma Gillespie, the

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: Big Chief, Hello.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 3: Big Chief, right back at you, and a very happy

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 3: birthday to SNL. The Old Bird is fifty years old.

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 3: Saturday Night Live fifty years old. That's extraordinary, isn't it extraordinary?

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: We had a huge anniversary special over the weekend. Friday

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 3: night there was this big homecoming concert in New York

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: where you had Sure Lady Gaga, Lauren Hill, such a

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 3: stacked lineup of performers. And then Sunday night or yesterday

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: our time, we had this huge three and a half

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: hour bonanza. Everyone who's ever been famous was there. It

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: was an absolute spectacle. We had a hilarious opening monologue

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: from Steve Martin. I think we've got a little bit

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 3: of that to play for you.

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live, as you know, turned fifty years old

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: this year, and I turned seventy nine. But I feel

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: like I'm sick, which is also not good.

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: I got Steve Money seventy nine.

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: He's amazing and he's so sharp. He featured a few times.

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: There were a lot of big names. I can't even

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: begin to go through the list, but we had like Martin, Short,

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: Will Ferrell, Scarlett Johanson, Meryl Streep did her first ever

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: appearance on SNL really, yeah, first ever. She was hilarious.

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 3: She played this kind of hill billy mum. Jack Nicholson

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: made an appearance. He's rarely seen in public anymore. That

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: was a big deal. Julia Lewis Dreyfus, Adam Driver, Keith Richard's,

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: John Ham, Paul McCartney. Could go on and on, but

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: there are a couple of great moments. I mean, it's

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: full of amazing moments three and a half hours. I mean,

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: you can fit so much into that as you can imagine,

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: even Kim Kardashian apparently, But there was a really hilarious

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: moment that's going viral. People might have already seen. Tina

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: Fey and Amy Poehler did a sort of Q and

35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: A sketch where it was an opportunity to kind of

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: go through all the huge celebrity cameos, you know, peppered

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: throughout the audience. But we got one moment with Ryan

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: Reynolds seated next to Blake Lively.

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: How's it going great?

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: Bye? What do you hear? He is, of course dealing

41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: with the fallout of the lawsuits surrounding Blake Lively's film.

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 3: It ends with us and Justin Baldoni that entire saga,

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 3: So I thought that was in good humor that he

44
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: showed up and did that.

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: So I fin'm with SNL. I watch it. I appreciate

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 2: the work that goes into it, but I never really

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: laugh out loud at stuff. It seems to always go

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: on too long. I did like years ago when Norm

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: McDonald used to do like an impersonation of Burt Reynolds.

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: That was really good.

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: They had some really beautiful nods to Norm McDonald, who

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: used to be the head writer on the show, passed

53
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: away a while ago, and Adam Sandler did a really

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: beautiful song. You thought it was gonna be funny, but

55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: it ended up being quite moving. Paul Simon performed with

56
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: Sabrina Carpenter. I think you could tell they really had

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: an awareness that this was going to be watched internationally

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: and it wasn't the same kind of weekly SNL where

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: maybe it's holding up a mirror to American politics that week,

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: or it's little bit of an inside joke. I think

61
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: they did a really, really great job of making it

62
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: for everyone. They were very kind of self deprecating. There

63
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: was this in memoriam section from Tom Hanks that didn't

64
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: go quite as we might have expected.

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: We must also take a moment to honor those who

66
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: we've lost. I'm speaking, of course about SNL characters and sketches, accents,

67
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: and let's just call them ethnic whigs that have aged horribly.

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: And then they played this mortifying mashup of Oh everyone

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: who signed on to it must have had to sign

70
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: a legal document to say that they gave permission because

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: it was so damnaged.

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Stuff that doesn't age well.

73
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: The stuff that doesn't age well. But they went there,

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: they played it. It was really funny. It was sort

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: of cool that they could go there and recognize that

76
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: and move on from that. And honestly, there was really

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: something for everyone. I thought they did a really fantastic job.

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: There was this huge musical moment that paid homage to

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: the city of New York. Hot dogs in Heroin, cocaine

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: and vodka. There are a few songs of out that

81
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: we had. Adam Driver, Pete Davidson, David Spade, Jason Sidekis. Honestly,

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: any famous person you can think of was probably there.

83
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: There were also some big musical performances. We had Miley

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: Cyrus and Brittany Howard perform Nothing Compares to You, which

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: was a bit of a statement. Of course all those

86
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: years ago Shanead O'Connor performed on the set of FNL.

87
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: She was banned, she ripped up the photo, so that

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: was also I think quite self aware that they went

89
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: back to that and acknowledged those moments.

90
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Will this show be seen on Australian television or streaming?

91
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Where do we say?

92
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 3: You'll be able to stream it on Binge and Foxtel

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: and Foxtel Go. It is three and a half hours though,

94
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: so if you're not feeling like watching something the equivalent

95
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: length of The Lord of the Rings, I would recommend

96
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: going on YouTube having a look around for some.

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: Of the good clips, the highlights.

98
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't miss Eddie Murphy, Oh everyone, it was fantastic.

99
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: Couldn't recommend it enough.

100
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: Everyone was there.

101
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: Everyone was there except us. Weirdly, I better check my

102
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: letterbox because I don't think I got any to take.

103
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: I think it was into the spam in box to

104
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: me your letterbox going to another time, and thank you,

105
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: thank you,
