On Friday night, Cindy, Gabe and I waited all night outside NBC studios in the rain for standby tickets to see Saturday Night Live. It was quite an adventure. We got there around 8:30pm and we were 12th in line. I went home and got us camping chairs, sleeping bags, snacks, garbage sacks (to keep us dry), and a giant umbrella. It was wet and cold but we stayed pretty dry and warm with our supplies. At 7 am they gave us standby tickets. We could choose between the dress rehearsal and the live taping. We decided on the dress rehearsal because it is longer and we thought we would have a better chance at actually getting in.
We went back to the studios around 7 pm where we waited to see if there were any standby spots for us. Luckily there were and we got in! It was cool to be there and see all the actors and Lorne Michaels live. All in all it was a fun night. Not their funniest episode, but enjoyable. We watched the live show later and it turns out they take a lot of stuff out from the dress rehearsal. Also a lot of the skits were funnier in the dress rehearsal.
Below are some of our pictures from the night and my favorite clip from Saturday night's show.
