Deep Thoughts: Bill Murray Goes Gonzo Where the Buffalo Roam
In the summer of 1979, Bill Murray went full “gonzo” in his portrayal of Hunter S. Thompson in the feature film Where the Buffalo Roam. The film slaps together various events from Thompson’s past with his attorney and friend, Carl Lazlo (Peter Boyle), that include a 1968 San Francisco drug possession trial, the Super Bowl, and the 1972 presidential campaign. And, while there are no direct references to his most famous adventure, there are plenty of nods to a certain savage journey to the hear...

Deep Thoughts: What If Saturday Night Live Didn't Fire Jean Doumanian?
After looking back on Season 6, we asked ourselves: What if Saturday Night Live DIDN’T fire Jean Doumanian in the middle of the season? How much longer might she have lasted? What might the show go on to become? And how much longer might SNL have even existed? Thomas Sena and Deremy Dove join Brad and Gary to look at what an alternate history of SNL might look like. They imagine what changes would still have taken place for Season 7 (and beyond), what kind of guests might have been on the sho...

Not Ready for Season 6: SNL S06E12: Bill Murray/Delbert McClinton (3/7/81)
Bill Murray returns to Saturday Night Live to host what ended up being the final episode of the very brief Jean Doumanian era. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save Season 6—even if he did bring back Delbert McClinton as musical guest. Hours after this episode ended, Doumanian was fired as Executive Producer of the show. Replaced by Dick Ebersol, many of the cast and writers would also experience their last week at Studio 8H. But the episode itself? The returning veteran from SNL's original...
