Pull-quote:
The NBC TV comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live (SNL) had its first airing in 1975 as America's response to the BBC's transcendent comedy sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus (and we use the term transcendent advisedly; once exposed to the world as seen through the eyes of the Pythons one could then never see the real world in the same way ever again) which aired on the BBC from 1969 through 1974 and was first aired in the U.S. on PBS in 1974.
