Marie_GD Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Show: Saturday Night Live in the '90s: Pop Culture NationNetwork: (NBC) NBC Television NetworkDate: Monday - December 31, 2007Time: 8/7c PMDuration: 2:00Episode DescriptionAbout: Saturday Night Live in the '90s: Pop Culture NationAmong the new and candid interviews are creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels, many of the stars of the show including: Dana Carvey, Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Ana Gasteyer, Darrell Hammond, Chris Kattan, Norm Macdonald, Mark McKinney, Tim Meadows, Tracy Morgan, Mike Myers, Kevin Nealon, Cheri Oteri, Colin Quinn, Chris Rock, Molly Shannon, David Spade, Julia Sweeney and two cast members who became comedy stars after their time at "SNL:" David Koechner and Sarah Silverman. In addition, two of the most prolific hosts in SNL history -- Alec Baldwin and John Goodman also offer insights.In addition to the comedy superstars recounting their time in Studio 8H, the film includes some of the leading comedic writers and directors working today including former head writers Tim Herlihy, who went on to pen some of Sandler's biggest hits including "The Wedding Singer," and "Happy Gilmore," and writer-director Adam McKay who has paired with Ferrell for two of his biggest blockbusters, "Anchorman" and "Talladega Nights." SNL producers and veteran writers Al Franken, Tom Davis, Jim Downey and Robert Smigel and current co-head writer Paula Pell also share their stories.Once again, while this film transcends the traditional retrospective clip show, it is jam-packed with classic moments from the decade, including "Wayne's World," "Church Chat," the Spartan Spirit Cheerleaders, Opera Man, Motivational Speaker Matt Foley, Nat X, Stuart Smalley, "Celebrity Jeopardy," "It's Pat," "The Ladies Man," Mary Katherine Gallagher, "Hollywood Minute," the Roxbury guys, Hans & Franz, "Sprockets," The Richmeister, Chris Farley's Chippendale's Audition with a healthy helping of "More Cowbell."These are the stories fans haven't heard - all presented in the same funny, fast-paced, nostalgic format that earned "The First 5 Years" an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Non-Fiction Special. The stories from the '90s are framed and propelled by the best musical acts of the decade, including: Aerosmith, Christina Aguilera, Barenaked Ladies, Beck, Blues Traveler, Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews Band, En Vogue, Foo Fighters, Garbage, Gin Blossoms, Macy Gray, Green Day, Nirvana, Oasis, Pearl Jam and R.E.M.Series DescriptionAbout: Saturday Night Live in the '90s: Pop Culture NationContinuing to tell the story of "Saturday Night Live," NBC presents a new installment of the compelling behind-the-scenes documentary series chronicling the highs and lows of the iconic comedy show -- "Saturday Night Live in the '90s: Pop Culture Nation."Following up on his Emmy-nominated and critically acclaimed documentaries "Live From New York: The First 5 Years of Saturday Night Live," and "Saturday Night Live in the '80s: Lost and Found," writer, director and producer Kenneth Bowser (Emmy nominee for "John Ford/John Wayne; The Filmmaker & The Legend," "Easy Riders & Raging Bulls") has created a look at the stratospheric reach of the show in the 90s. The decade saw "SNL" going from being named "a national institution" by the prestigious Peabody Awards to being deemed "Saturday Night Dead" by the press a mere two years later... only to return stronger than ever.The stories take the show all over the map – from the early nineties with one of its strongest (and largest) casts in history and the phenomenonal success of "Wayne's World" on the big screen to bitter clashes with the network culminating in the firing of the anchor of "Weekend Update." It also deals with the loss of two of the show's brightest stars and ultimately, the show's return to form later in the decade with an entirely new cast. This is the decade that has produced the leading comedy stars working today, including Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Mike Myers, Chris Rock and Adam Sandler.Featured Artists ARTISTS Aerosmith Christina Aguilera Barenaked Ladies Beck Blues Traveler Sheryl Crow Dave Matthews En Vogue Foo Fighters Garbage Gin Blossoms ARTISTS ON TV Macy Gray Green Day Nirvana Oasis Pearl Jam R.E.M.

Marie_GD Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 Saturday Night Live (SNL) 3rd Dec 1994--------------------------------------------------- When I Come Around (St.JimmyRules) Geek Stink Breath (St.JimmyRules) Show End Credits (MBK - nothingwrongwithme.com) http://www.greendaycommunity.org/Forum/ind...t&p=1399010I think that's what they'll air!
Mommy's Little Nightmare Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Ah, that's awesome. I won't be able to see it though.
armatageshanks Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 the snl decade shows usually show 30 seconds of a musical performance.it's not really worth taping, or getting that excited about.
rootbeersoup Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Why bother? Just watch them on youtube or download the performance.
jadedghiacand Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 isnt this that SNL 1994 performance of When I Come Around and geek stink breath?
Boston Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Was this on last Saturday? I remember a lot of 90's episodes were aired.
molly1620 Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 I know Green Day will be a short clip, but the show itself seems like it will be pretty good.
Boston Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 ^ I agree with that. The 90's were the best years of SNL.
midlfecrysis Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Don't forget to tune into SNL, that is unless you have something better to do on New Years Eve.
