SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE REWIND MEGA-MARATHON
February 14, 2015  | By David Bianculli

VH1 Classic, 11:30 a.m. ET

 

The build-up to NBC’s Sunday night Saturday Night Live anniversary special continues – and not just on NBC. VH1 Classic has been counting down through 39 seasons of SNL, showing every episode in reverse chronological order. Now that we’ve gotten past the abysmal 1980-1985 years – the show’s Dark Ages, when producer Lorne Michaels had left the series – it’s safe to go back to the TV set again. Especially at 11:30 a.m. ET, when VH1 Classic presents the Season 2 episode, from 1976, hosted by Paul Simon, and with George Harrison as special musical guest. Perched on stools and playing acoustic guitars, they join forces for both “Homeward Bound” and “Here Comes the Sun,” an all-time SNL highlight. Also today, from 2:30-10 p.m. ET: a special block presenting five of Steve Martin’s appearances as host.
