Saturday Night Live Fantasy League: Episode 39x02: Miley Cyrus
October 07, 2013
QUALITY: Above everyone else though Kyle Mooney's big brother, and Miley Cyrus' spirit animal Taran Killam had the kind of season best show that you could sense coming from the promo spots onwards. And might I remind you, the man is married to a Canadian.
QUALITY: He may not have appeared on the show this week, but Lorne Michaels DID write about the early years of SNL for Vanity Fair. A first-hand account from the man usually quoted for historical looks at the show? It deserves a read.
QUALITY: Speaking of a historical perspective on SNL, while being even more entertaining then Lorne himself, is Robert Smigel (creator of TV Funhouse, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, long-time SNL writer in the 80's and 90's) who was interviewed by Bill Simmons on Grantland about the generation of SNL that I cut my teeth on. Listen to it.

1989?! Didn't Bruno Mars host last season? Oh, wait, wrong Bruno... |
Remember even with SNL, it's not what you know, it's what you learn along the way!
