Why I'm in love with SNL
My fascination with Saturday Night Live started during my bout of being a massive One Direction fan. How massive? To the point of I read fan fics, I watch youtube vids of them all night and just have them on constant repeat on my iTunes and tablet. It faded now though, but I'm still a fan. If they were to come here in the Philippines, I will certainly spend and watch them perform. Anyway, case in point... I started watching SNL when One Direction played as their musical guest and Sofia Vergara hosted. I was just interested in watching the performance of 1D but I got caught up in the whole show and marked myself as a fan. Credits to Kate McKinnon hilariously playing Penelope Cruz in a shampoo commercial. Hilarious! Ever since, I would patiently wait every Sunday evening or Monday morning for the torrented file of the recent SNL episode. Shhh. It doesn't take me that much to laugh or smile. Deliver me a corny joke that's been as old as the internet and I will still laugh. And SNL pretty much gives me a heaping serving of laughs.

I have a stash of SNL episodes in my hard drive, some even dating back to early 2000s. I do wish I had access to earlier episodes though... like during the era of Chevy Chase, Will Ferrell, and Tina Fey. Heads up fellow SNL fans... Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake will be next week's host and musical guest and these two are sure to bring the house down. Jimmy Fallon's Christmas episode last year is still my favorite episode. And of course, I'm pretty sure JT will show up in a couple sketches (these two are tight yano). Bucket List: To visit to Rockefeller Center, home of SNL |
