4. It's Saturday night

Live

[tedoll78]

5. Nope./

They have a practice show in the early evening, and then they do final re-writes for a few hours before the real deal. It's actually live. Amazing, eh?

[Pirate Smile]

6. What does the L in SNL stand for? They did already know the Red Sox won.

[Lex]

7. Saturday Night LIVE.

[uncle ray]

8. i'm amazed they showed it as it happened even in the west

[JimmyJazz]

9. what? what did I miss? Good grief, I go away for one little minute

to have some chocolate and raspberries and look what happens! What happened??

[GOPisEvil]

10. It's not what...it's with whom and in what form...

Oh, Ashlee Simpson got caught lip-synching on SNL.

And to the original poster, it's not called Saturday Night On Tape. :-)

[JimmyJazz]

12. wait! How did you see that? Was she lip syncing - is that the

big scoop?

On edit: oh, now I get it! ;)

[GOPisEvil]

17. I just read the scoop here on DU.

:-)

[GalleryGod]

18. Well Put, Old Friend!

:pals:

[jdots]

11. yeah what happened i don't watch S.N.L.

not saying the talent sucks but somebody is fucking it up

[jdots]

14. ah thats a reason not to watch S.N.L.

13. Ashlee Simspon was the "musical" guest.

She had two performances.

First one she played her song "Pieces of Me."

Second one she came on stage. Then out of the speakers came her singing "Pieces of Me" AGAIN...only her mouth wasn't moving at all. (they played the wrong song, she didn't know what to do)

Well I was at the show (just got back.)

You guys wanna know WHY she was lipsyncing? Because in the dress rehearsal, she forgot the words TO HER OWN SONG!

15. .

exCUUUUUSSSEE me.
i was under the impression that it was only TAPED live.

[NYC Liberal]

16. I didn't say anything about that....

[DS1]

21. jesus christ

[JimmyJazz]

22. I think he meant GiE's post .

[DS1]

24. It would be just as laughable aimed anywhere else

[JimmyJazz]

25. a little tough on the newbies this week? That rash

bothering you again? :P

[DS1]

27. My rash and my ability to suffer incredibly asinine statements are

mutually exclusive

[Maddy McCall]

26. Hahaha! Every show is "taped live"

SNL is BROADCAST live.

[Deja Q]

19. Some singing chick pulled a Milli Vanilli...

:eyes:

[fishnfla]

20. Here's why--NYCLiberal answered why

they do tape the rehearsal and show it in case there is a screw-up. She screwed up the rehearsal, the fallback/failsafe,so they were flying without a safety net

thats why

[IronLionZion]

23. That part was live, but some skits are on tape

and they showed it on the west coast because it's a vast right wing conspiracy
