What's up with Private YTs?

SNL almost always makes their musical performances private after a week or two.

Thanks. Never knew that. 

If you haven't already seen this over the years you probably just didn't want to, but for the time being, SNL's Youtube channel has uploaded the very first episode of the show.

Happy anniversary, SNL. A show that at times has been offensive, stupid, maybe even dangerous, but a show that, like daytime soaps, has been a formative part of my life, one always with me, with many people along the way who felt like best friends, even though I would never know them. SNL never leaves me, even when I leave it.

May your last few years on the air go out on a good note.

I've only seen a few clips of the anniversary stuff, I should watch more. I did like seeing Eddie again. I did see Jane and Laraine Newman honoring Gilda at the end, that was great.

I'm truly amazed at how Eddie Murphy and SNL were able to mend fences.  Chevy Chase's post-SNL film career has been even more notorious than Eddie's.  Yet, because Eddie wasn't on SNL at the same time as Lorne, he was made the butt of a very cruel joke (and by David Spade, of all people).  Lorne just seemed very reluctant to give Eddie credit for keeping SNL going at a time when NBC could very well have cancelled it.

Can you name all the soaps in the pictures at 4:40 in this SNL skit?

Bottom row is L to R, Luke and Laura; Bo and Hope, the original ‘84 Capwells on SB

 

Middle row, L to R, Julia and ?? AMC; Victor/YR; ??? (Do I see Vincent Irizarry); ???

 

Top row, L to R, ???; Alan, Elizabeth and Mike on GL, I think?

This one looks a little bit like Lucas from Days in the middle.  Maybe Chelsea or Mimi to the left side of pic near him, and Chloe on the right side of the pic in the off-shoulder dress.  But then who is the woman in white on far left edge? Hope? Kate?

I can't see it well, so I could be way off, LOL.  Don't even know if I have the right soap.
If anyone recognizes the set, that would help.

Furthest to the left is Brooke/Erica (AMC), and below them L&L. Then I think you have Margo and Tom (Deas and Colin era), Victor, and Bo and Hope. Then Elizabeth, Mike and Alan (GL), I think @janea4old is right about DAYS and Lucas, the Capwells, and Antonio/Gabi/Ricardo from Sunset Beach.

I have watched that sketch a few times over the years but didn't ever notice some of the more obscure images alongside the big ones. Thanks.

Dear God, did someone consider this fresh material?
