OK, I'll do it for you:

The correct answer is, green apple jelly bean being eaten by Elizabeth Banks while being mildly amused at a scene from Dogma or Clerks.

@Fast Zombie, FYI, Cokie Roberts is not a liberal.

The question only makes sense if we assume "politics" is a euphemism for, you know, major drug use.

Dana Carvey was sort of the ultimate SNL performer: it was the perfect vehicle for his set of skills. Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily translate to films or half-hour comedy shows. Most people who have been on SNL turn out to be pretty good at either SNL or comedy films, but not both. Bill Murray is the rare

Todd Margaret is very funny. Don't be turned away by haters. Cross is a brilliant comedic actor, and he's as good as ever in it.

Fuck the Puritans.

Raphael Ravenscroft
Might as well take a moment to recognize the guy who played what is perhaps the most famous saxophone riff…ever?

Springsteen getting booked on Fallon
You're TV writers and you don't know how Fallon gets his big time musical bookings like Springsteen and McCartney? Two words: Lorne Michaels. Duh!

Shampoo
California, 1968, pool house, hot women.

Actually, to be an annoying nitpicker, Jimmy Carter was elected in Nov of 1976, and took office in late Jan, 1977. Ford was President throughout all of 1976.

I think Seth, and Tina before him, primarily are the head writers for Weekend Update. As for sketches, they may also write some, and have a hand in others, but Lorne as producer has a lot of say in picking sketches as well as assigning them to begin with.

What I don't understand is how all these announcers, platy-by-play and color, seem to have jobs for life. The players don't; the coaches don't; but even the most mediocre announcer, you just can't get rid of them.

No video?!?
If any one was going to release a trippy song with an accompanying trippy video, you'd think it would be visual master David Lynch. But no, just a song.

Eliza Dushku?
What, she's already proven she can't act, so now she wants to make sure everyone knows she's not funny, either?

The word should be "morbid," not "gory."
That's why everyone was expecting the Butcher cover. The Double Fantasy LP in question wouldn't be gory unless it had, like, John's blood on it. Or Yoko's DNA….
