The fact we never got a Gilda hosted show is a real gut punch of a historical fact I never knew. It would have undoubtedly been a proper swan song for a legend.

[MemoSelf]

I loved this cast. And the show never had such a small one again. Proof that eight great actors - the RIGHT great eight - could do just about anything required of them.

[rocketimpossible]

Jan and Phil were as good as anyone that was ever on the show ❤

[dmnemaine]

Wow. What could have been. The return of Gilda Radner to Saturday Night Live.

[starwolf]

The beginning of Bob Odenkirk and Conan O'Brian

[JetScreamer_YT]

Some of my best laughter at the hardest time of my life.

[docj]

“Pumping Up With Hans and Franz” is in my top three favorite recurring sketches of the show’s history….also, I had forgotten about Carvey’s Alex Keaton impression, I about spit my drink out when I saw that again 😂

[tomjames]

I appreciate watching these series. Lots of nostalgia.

[cherylcampbell]

I loved this season. The Tonto, Tarzan, Frankenstein bit killed.
FIRE BAD!

[Gondarth]

I gotta say, guys, this is dedication and commitment right here! I first found your series yesterday. I decided to put on the first season video as background noise while doing some home renovations and I couldn't stop and I soon found myself marathoning the entire series. Looking forward to the rest, however long it may take!! 🤣

[sjchevalier]

Loved the Family Ties sketch where Kevin Nealon playing Stephen Keaton and his beard coming unglued from his face. So funny!

I wish these episodes were twice as long because there’s so much more content we’re missing. I hope you do a part 2 to see all the stuff we’re missing.

Excellent episode! 0:07

The Robin Williams episode was one of the best in SNL's history. I can't believe he never hosted again after that.

[michaelrochester]

What a great cast, Phil Hartman is a genius in comedy. One of the few SNL cast members I would’ve loved to have met in person just to tell him how much he is. Loved for not only SNL but Newsradio one of the greatest TV shows of all time.

[jbizz]

Fond memories. I was 7 and this was the first season I was allowed to stay up with my family and watch.

[nomadbrad]

Season 13 was can't miss Saturday night laughs when a Senior at the University. ALL Previous seasons always had ATLEAST one or two WEAK 13 didn't have a weak link, making a bad sketch very rare.

[werideatdusk]

These videos have become must watch TV!

[VENZUL]

Phil is in my top 3 all time, probably number 1.

[otzlixr]

These are the seasons I have been waiting for.

[MISHKINPUSH]

Once again, you've done a great job of calling out the highlights of the season. This was the season that renewed my interest in the show. Thanks for another great video.
