Saturday

“By the beginning of its second season, Saturday Night Live was the talk of television, a national sensation both hot and cool, and the first hit any network ever had at eleven-thirty on Saturday night” (Shales, Miller, 95). From young adults to the senile, Saturday Night Live has had people laughing for nearly forty-one years! This weekly show will go down in television history as one of the most iconic productions of the twentieth and twenty-first century. With every great show comes a great producer. Lorne Michaels was born on November 17, 1944 in Israel. Shortly after, his family immigrated to Toronto, Canada. At a young age, he was very focused on his creative writing. Graduating from the University of Toronto, he set off for the show business. In 1968, he moved to Los Angeles, California to write and broadcast for CBC Radio. Michaels was employed by NBC at the age of 27, in 1975, to create a show that would replace reruns of The Tonight Show on Saturday nights…

When a regular viewer tunes in the hit comedy show, Saturday Night Live, what might they examine on their screen? A viewer would be watching a comedy show with primarily young white men, some white women, and very few African Americans. There is a problem with the low levels of diversity within Saturday Night Live, otherwise called SNL. Since the show’s beginning, Saturday Night Live has had a very long history with not displaying actors from a variety of races and backgrounds. I, Hannah…

On Sepetember 27, 2008, Saturday Night Live (SNL) performed a cold open sketch of Katie Couric interviewing Sarah Palin during the presidential election of 2008. Tina Fey impersonates Sarah Palin, while Katie Couric is portrayed by Amy Poehler. The two comedians mock an actual interview done by the potential vice president and journalist that was performed a few weeks prior. The 7 minute cold open, which is longer than most of their sketches, contains a plethora of communication methods to…

Moving in with a best friend Coming home to an empty guess room and spare keys on the key ring is not how you want to end a weekend. Saturday morning I received a text from my best friend, we had been having issues with our living situation. The pain of knowing my best friend just packed up and left was terrible, I was basically losing my best friend. Senior year is full of excitement with prom and graduation all just at your fingertips. Also full of decisions like what you are going to do for…

Intro Performance issues and motivation is an understanding that is needed in every job. Performance issues can be skill driven, however, most performance issues are driven by motivation. As Baack (2012) stated motivation is at the beginning of behaviors, maintains it, and can end it. It is important to understand the driver of the performance issue and identify a performance plan to assist in correcting the issue. In reviewing a performance issue around production, we are going to review…

We first contacted Kathy Dalton, who has coordinated the “Pause for Paws” event in which therapy dogs are brought to the library at the end of the semester to help students relieve stress. Ms. Dalton then gave us contact information for Loyal Jones. We originally planned to host our event before or after “Pause for Paws” because the dogs would already be on campus. This would have most likely brought people to the event and put less strain on the dog owners, considering many of them are elderly…

Nothing Stranger The week before anything had happened; it was just a normal day in Chicago. The weather was perfect, birds were singing, everyone was alive and well. A group of kids went to one of their friends houses on that Saturday to hangout and catch up on the new hit show that everyone at school has been talking about, Stranger Things. Michelle, Maple, Vince, and Joey all headed to Joey’s house to enjoy the day binge watching some Netflix. They enjoyed all eight episodes of the first…

Perry, Fresh Food Company, and Templeton are the main cafeteria on the campus. The meal schedule is failing to some students. Some students do not have time to eat when cafeterias are open at certain time at far distance. Cafeterias might not be available when students have nothing or have time to be sociable. The campus needs to improve the schedule and the cafeteria because it is not flexible on weekend, has same food route, and have time issues. First, the weekends are not flexible on food…

Bagel Hockey Case Analysis The bagel hockey case outlined a scenario that combined a cohesive group of young adults, too much free time, and too little management. The cafeteria manager, Mrs. Larby, made an unannounced weekend visit to the cafeteria and found her employees violating one of the business rules of no horseplay. When she walked in on a busy cafeteria, only a couple of employees were functioning in their roles while the rest were playing floor hockey with brooms and stale bagels in…
