The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective
An in-depth journey into the legacy of one of television's most iconic and influential shows - Saturday Night Live. Through deep dives into its most memorable eras, behind-the-scenes stories, and analysis of its evolution, we celebrate and debate the show that has become an institution, defining comedy for the last 50 years.
The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective
S02E20 Eric Idle/Alan Price, Neil Innes (April 23, 1977)
Eric Idle uses his return to hosting Saturday Night to turn the show into a telethon to "Save Great Britain" (complete with the Queen herself).
The episode is VERY Idle-influenced. There are no Coneheads or Samurai, but we do get a Sherry appearance, a lot of British-style comedy, and some interesting musical numbers from Neil Innes. Unfortunately, we also get a couple of performances from Alan Price.
Thomas Sena from the SNL Hall of Fame and Pop Culture Five podcasts is back to help sort through it all!
