VIDEO: SNL (and Jesse Pinkman) Take on Obamacare in Season Premiere Cold Opening
By: Tyler Peterson
On last night's Saturday Night Live season premiere cold opening, regular Americans talk about their experiences with the Affordable Care Act - including BREAKING BAD's Jesse Pinkman.
Former SNL player Tina Fey was joined by Arcade Fire as the featured musical guest on the Sept. 28 season premiere.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation; and, as The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999: "In Defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
