Saturday Night Live Case Study Elena G Saturday Night Live Case Study Elena G. Simon (860)-918-6469 [email protected] i) Saturday Night Live ii) Nature of the work: Live Sketch-Comedy Television Series (1) A live late-night sketch comedy show featuring comedians, a new guest star host each week and a guest artist/band. The television series has also produced movies based on reoccurring characters that originated on the show. (2) Up-and-coming comedians (stand-up, sketch and improve) are featured as weekly players on the show. Many of these players also write for the show. Throughout the show’s 35-year run, many of these comedians got their start on Saturday Night Live and have had long, successful careers in part due to their weekly exposure on the show and some of the SNL films (Dan Aykryod, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Martin Short, Christopher Guest, Gilda Radner, Tina Fey etc.) The guest performers benefit from the exposure by hosting the show to promote their new film or album. iii) Sample Projects & Clients (1) The Lonely Island: The Lonely Island is a comedy troupe consisting of Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone and Andy Samberg, best known for their musical parodies. SNL producer Lorne Michaels discovered the troupe and they began writing for “SNL Digital Shorts” featured as pre-recorded comedy segments or musical parodies on the show weekly. Regular exposure on Saturday Night Live led to much success, including an Emmy award for “Dick in a Box” (featuring Justin Timberlake). Many of these videos included collaborations with a popular actor or recording artist, usually the host or musical guest for that week. MacGruber: The Lonely Island also created the reoccurring sketch “MacGruber” (based on the show 1980s television show MacGyver). The sketch is currently being released as a feature film set to hits theaters this May. Saturday Night Live, as mentioned before,has spawned many hit comedy films based off of sketches and characters that originated on the show. 30 Rock: Also a Lorne Michaels affiliate production, SNL’s writer Tina Fey launched her own show (30 Rock) based on her experience as a writer at SNL. (2) Clients are the comedians and writers who are featured players on the shows. Their weekly exposure on a major national network allows their work to be seen by viewers at home and online. This is excellent promotion for the talents and many have achieved ongoing success in their career from getting their start Saturday Night Live. iv) Size & ownership (1) Saturday NIght LIve is part of the NBC Universal Entertainment network.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • A Gay/Straight Comparison of Gay Voices
    A GAY/STRAIGHT COMPARISON OF GAY VOICES A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY SHANE LANNING DR. CAROLYN MACKAY - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2015 Lanning-1 Introduction: This study compares 4 gay male comedians and 4 straight male comedians’ performances of “gay speech”. The researcher observed comedians who were performing gay characters for the following three variables: the lisp ([s̪ ] instead of [s]), a raised pitch, and formal [–iŋ] vs. informal [–In] endings. It was hypothesized that both straight comedians and gay comedians would manipulate their [s] production to the dental [s̪ ] when performing a gay character; moreover, the comedians would also raise their pitch during their performance. The [–iŋ] vs. [–In] sounds, because their production below the level of consciousness, would not vary in the homosexual or heterosexual comedians. The purpose of this comparison was to determine how salient the features were in each group in order to identify stereotypical features associated with gay speech. In other words, if all of the comedians were using a particular feature, one could postulate that this feature has a stronger association with perceived gay speakers. Conversely, if the comedians were not using a particular feature, one could postulate that this feature has a weaker association or is not associated at all with perceived gay speakers. In recent studies, participants were asked to rate speakers on a scale of homosexual to heterosexual and a scale of feminine to masculine. In these studies, the data showed that features like the lisp ([s̪ ] instead of [s]), received higher gay ratings; participants rated speakers’ sexuality as gay more often when they exhibited this feature (Mack & Munson, 2012).
