Celebrate #ThrowbackThursday with these vintage Saturday Night Live sketches.

Fans are well aware that Saturday Night Live takes a vacation every summer just like the rest of us. But that doesn’t mean the show has completely forgot about its loyal followers.

To help keep fans both young and old entertained, the show announced it would be adding 10 vintage sketches to its YouTube channel every Saturday until the premiere of season 45 in the fall. The first batch was already released and featured the Coneheads, Landshark, and some other classics.

Now the YouTube channel has been updated with another group of vintage sketches. Keeping with the chronology of the show, these 10 also come from the early seasons of Saturday Night Live. Whether you were there tuning in to SNL in the mid-1970s or came to these sketches later as a fan, you’ll be happy to see they are just a click away.

We get an upload of Bill Murray’s character Nick the Lounge singer. Other highlights include a monologue from Steve Martin, the Coneheads trying their hand at Family Feud, and Gilda Radner on the Hate Jennifer Show.

Older fans will no doubt be happy to relive the glory days of Saturday Night Live. Enjoy these three picks from Last Night On and be sure to check out the Saturday Night Live YouTube channel all summer long.

Thursdays are all about taking a trip down memory lane these days. Saturday Night Live fans probably can’t think of a better group to reminisce with than Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner. The writers and performers of the show’s early years set the standard that Saturday Night Live has been trying to reach for the past 40-plus years.
