On this program we’ve tackled the bewilderment of SNL’s infamous Season 6 (1980, post-OG cast) and Season 10 (all-timer ‘84 cast w/ Martin Short, Chris Guest, Harry Shearer). The specter of 1985’s Season 11 has next loomed large…the weird transition period when Lorne Michaels returned to bring in what he hoped was a cohesive ensemble: Robert Downey Jr, Joan Cusack, Randy Quaid, Danitra Vance, queer icon Terry Sweeny, Jon Lovitz, Nora Dunn, Damon Wayans, Dennis Miller. So we’ll watch a truly excellent doc on the subject which (trust us) covers it all better than we ever could with a sketch edit.
