"To try and make a massive film like that under the constrictions of a pandemic and the delays that have ensued, partly because of The Power of the Dog, but also because of everything that was lined up and had to be pushed back from Marvel. It's been tough for everyone. Live from New York, it won't be Saturday Night Live. After three straight weeks of new episodes, the cast and crew at Studio 8H are taking a few weeks off for spring break. In the show's regular time slot, an episode from earlier this year will air, featuring Billie Eilish as both host and musical guest.

'Saturday Night Live': Who Was the Longest Tenured Cast Member ... (Showbiz Cheat Sheet)

Learn how Kenan Thompson's incredible tenure on 'Saturday Night Live' was only surpassed by one great comedian before him.

He is the longest-running Black cast member. The Saturday Night Live cast member with the longest run was Darrell Hammond before Thompson set the record. Even though he wasn’t a cast member, he’d been brought back to the show to play Trump during the 2016 election. Even though he started the sitcom Kenan with fellow SNL cast member Chris Redd, he has no intention of leaving. But all the accomplishments he’s achieved on the show. When it comes to a show like Saturday Night Live, the audience expects a high turnover of cast members.

40 Years Ago: 'Fridays' Stumbles to an Unfortunate End (Ultimate Classic Rock)

"Michael was wonderful on the show," cast member Melanie Chartoff told L.A. Weekly in 2013, "and Larry David was distinguishing himself as a writer – but I also ...

To critics like Shales, Fridays remained a "fanatically low-rated rip-off of Saturday Night Live" until the bitter end. Ironically, Hall left for SNL after Fridays folded, as did David. (Shales praised Hall's "knack for the whimsically offbeat ... but he sticks out like a whole fistful of sore thumbs in the surroundings of this show." "By the third year, I think we'd hit our stride." The writers too often resorted to shock humor, and some of the skits felt frankly unfinished. "Michael was wonderful on the show," cast member Melanie Chartoff told L.A. Weekly in 2013, "and Larry David was distinguishing himself as a writer – but I also think he was a very good character comedian. (George Carlin was the first guest host on both shows.) Fridays arrived in 1980 just as Saturday Night Live was transitioning away from the original "Not Ready for Prime Time" cast, but still never escaped its lengthy shadow. At the same time, however, early attempts at standing out could be clumsy and unamusing. Some elements were simply too close to the Saturday Night Live template, like the parody-news segment called Friday Edition that Hall would ultimately cohost. The final episode of ABC's Fridays aired in prime-time on April 23, 1982, doomed to a graveyard spot opposite the soapy hit drama Dallas. There was no live musical guest. That's a far cry from "Ebony and Ivory." The sketch-comedy program was also uniquely positioned to push the envelope within a late-night time slot.
