Neil Freiman: 作为《周六夜现场》的粉丝，我认为它在电视上庆祝50周年是一个重要的里程碑。这个节目不仅塑造了美国文化，还成为了许多喜剧明星的摇篮。尽管现在媒体环境发生了变化，但《周六夜现场》仍然具有一定的影响力，它的短剧也成为了经久不衰的文化象征。当然，我也承认现在对它的评价褒贬不一，但不可否认的是，它已经陪伴我们走过了50年。 Toby Howell: 我也认为《周六夜现场》的50周年是一个值得庆祝的时刻。这个节目经历了许多变化，但它仍然能够吸引观众，这证明了它的生命力。洛恩·迈克尔斯是这个节目的灵魂人物，他的领导才能和对喜剧的理解是《周六夜现场》成功的关键。虽然现在《周六夜现场》的造星能力有所下降，但它仍然是一个重要的喜剧平台，为我们带来了许多欢乐。
