"Saturday Night Live" – The comedy show has been on TV for half a century.
And it seems like Congress has been talking about it for nearly that long.
Like Democratic Senator Al Gore in 1990: "I saw a television show recently called Saturday Night Live, Mr. President. They have the habit of putting on humorous pretend commercials that look like real commercials."
And Republican Congressman David Drier in 1993: "Mr. Speaker, more than a few of us in this Chamber are aficionados of a television program known as Saturday Night Live. My friend, from San Diego, even tells me that he has seen it one time"
As "Saturday Night Live" marks its 50th anniversary … the C-SPAN podcast "The Weekly" marks the many, many times members of Congress talk about it.
What is it about Saturday Night Live that so interests Congress?
Which SNL skits and characters get their attention?
And – for Al Franken -- which job was more fun: Being a Senator – or working on "Saturday Night Live"?
All that – and much more Congress comedy -- in this week's episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly."
