Taraji P Henson hosted Saturday Night Live yesterday and she brought Cookie with her. She decided it was time to run a different Empire, so she took over Sesame Street. Let’s just say the sun ain’t clearing the clouds away anymore. Especially for Elmo.
So how does the original Cookie Monster feel about the new one? He Tweeted, “Me finally meet da other cookie monster everybody talk about!!! @TherealTaraji not blue and furry like me imagined.” He better watch out, or he will be the one that is covered only in skin and she’s wearing his blue fur as a fur!
Before Billy Eichner was screaming at strangers in Billy on the Street, he needed to scream to get his voice heard over his 74 siblings on Saturday Night Live. How cute was the 13 year old in that 1992 sketch?

Before John Belushi, 24, Chevy Chase, 29, and Christopher Guest, 25, were all on Saturday Night Live, they all did a stage show called Lemmings for National Lampoon. You truly can see how talented all of them were in this 1973 live performance.
Before Gilda Radner, 27, John Belushi, 25, Bill Murray, 23, and Brian Doyle Murray, 28, did Saturday Night Live and Harold Ramis, 29, and Joe Flaherty, 32, did SCTV, they all worked for The National Lampoon Radio Hour. You can see from this rehearsal back in 1974 why they all went on to be part of the two biggest sketch shows to ever air on television.

http://www.hulu.com/watch/2323 Saturday Night Live is celebrating its 40th Anniversary tonight at 8p on NBC and the guest list is better than the Emmys, Golden Globes, Grammys and Oscars combined. They are the people who launched the show like Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, some of its biggest alumni like Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal and Adam Sandler, and finally today’s cast. Not only will the The Not Ready For Prime-Time Players be there, so will some of the biggest hosts and musicians who ever appeared on the show that has been a mainstay for 4 decades and counting. I don’t know what else to tell you to watch because the guest list speaks for itself.
Well, that and they will be showing some of their most famous sketches throughout the years. I included one from 1977 that was filmed in my hometown. When I took drivers ed, I drove that same road and it was still just as bad if not worse. In fact, I think, it is still just as bad. Never gave a baby a circumcision in a car while I was driving there, but sometimes it felt like I was making one.
