I think the scene between Gilda and Belushi at the Ice Rink is probably my favorite. It was our first night shooting, so to be having this moment in my life where I’m shooting with a director that I have admired since I was a kid playing a comedic icon and shooting at the Rockefeller Ice Rink. I feel like Jason and Gil Kenan captured Gilda’s voice in that monologue.
Lorne is such a genius, he saw what people of that era were drawn to and he moved that to TV. That required fighting an ancient system that did not know at all what he was talking about. That’s why we have Saturday Night Live, and it was some of the most culturally impactful entertainment we’ve ever experienced.
I think the fear was that it was going to be so chaotic that they over-prepared to the extent that they were ready. The days were pretty tight, and the chaos worked. So to the extent a day felt a little off or things were difficult, I think it probably felt that way in 1975, trying to get a show ready in an hour and a half, and in that way, you could just kind of lean into it and use it.
