Just before the 15th season of Saturday Night Live began, the show decided to pay tribute to itself with a special looking back at the 14 years it had been on the air. This was the first time SNL could pause and reflect, given that after both Season Five and Season Ten, the fate of the show was still up in the air. But after the legendary Season Fourteen, SNL was on firm footing and finally looked like it was going to be around for a while.
Let’s see, you guys touched upon the Mardi Gras debacle and the 1985 “Film Fest”
According to SNLArchives.net’s list of (wasn’t that) special episodes there are also this one, the 25th, 2 Primetime Extras in early February of 2001 (just looking at the Twin Towers in the logo, then the date is giving me a quick “eech”)
WU Halftime Special in 2003, three WU Thursdays in October of 2008, three in September of 2009, and two in September of 2012
Then the 40th and three more WU specials in August of 2017.
I distinctly remember watching an SNL in the 1990s documentary style special…and epguides https://epguides.com/SaturdayNightLive/ is telling me that aired in 2007…and lists a whole lot more special episodes! I’m guessing they aren’t all on SNLArchives due to no “new meant for entertaining content” 🤷🏻♂️
