Bowen Yang says ‘worst’ host on ‘SNL’ made ‘multiple cast members cry’

In the late-night television show scene, there have been few more prominent figures than ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel has been a staple in the late-night television landscape since the early 2000s. Born on November 13, 1967, his early career saw him dabbling in radio, where he honed his comedic chops and developed his signature style of humor. This led to his big break in television as the co-host of Win Ben Stein’s Money, a role that earned him a Daytime Emmy Award.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."

Saturday Night Trailer: SNL’s First-Ever Taping Is a Late-Night Mess in Upcoming Movie — Watch

Now instantly recognizable, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night," wasn't always one of the most famous phrases on television. In fact, in early October 1975, those seven words almost didn't make it into the entertainment history books. From issues with the sets to animosity between the cast to the overall disbelief in the program itself, the odds were highly stacked against the sketch comedy show before it even began. The road to the now iconic Saturday Night Live (SNL) was a complicated, messy one, and director and co-writer Jason Reitman hopes to capture the craziness in his upcoming film, Saturday Night.
