The Original SNL Cast
The Groovy Era wouldn’t be the same without the amazing Saturday Night Live. The show premiered around the middle of the 1970’s. The lineup of the original cast included John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Dan Aykroyd, Garett Morris, Chevy Chase, Michael O’Donoghue, George Coe, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner. The show quickly became a cult favorite and set trends all over the country. The Baby Boomer demographic pretty much brought the show to mainstream TV. Although Baby Boomers are not known for watching TV a lot, you can be sure they didn’t miss an episode of SNL.
