I was a very avid fan of Saturday Night Live when I was a teen. At some point (around Season 40 I think) I stopped watching because most of my favorite cast members had left and I couldn’t really get into the new generation.
Last year I started catching up again and am now up to the date on the last few seasons (S48/49 – S51 I think).
I also over time have watched a lot of random sketches from the 90s but very little from the 70s and 80s. So I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge and I think it’s probably pretty obvious which seasons I grew up on and therefore prefer over the other eras by the cast member I love most.
