**Saturday Night Live: A Fun Comedy Show!** Have you ever watched a funny TV show? One special show is called *Saturday Night Live*, or SNL for short! It started a long time ago, 50 years ago, in 1975! That’s a really long time in TV years! SNL is a live show filled with silly skits and fun music. Many funny people have been a part of it. The first stars were Chris Farley, Chevy Chase, and Gilda Radner. They were part of a group called the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players." This name meant they were young and ready to try new things. They loved making people laugh! SNL has a really cool idea. Each week, a different famous person hosts the show. This makes every episode exciting and new! You never know who will join the cast. Some famous faces have become stars after being on SNL, like Eddie Murphy and Tina Fey! The show tries to make jokes about what’s happening in the world. This can be political, or just silly things that everyone talks about. Sometimes, they make big mistakes. For a long time, they didn’t have enough people of color and women in their sketches. But they listened to what people wanted and have since made many changes! The boss of the show is Lorne Michaels. He has a special way of finding new talent. Many stars have come from SNL to do big things in movies and other shows. Although SNL can be difficult for people working behind the scenes, many love being there. It’s like a big, fun family of funny folks! As they celebrate their big 50th birthday, SNL reminds us that laughter is important. So, if you want to giggle and see funny sketches, SNL is the place to watch! Whether it’s a silly song or a goofy character, it’s sure to make you smile!
