(updated 14 Feb 2016)

Richard Nixon was running for president when he appeared on Laugh-In on September 16, 1968. He claimed his appearance, which consisted of him uttering the line, "Sock it to me," helped him win the election.

Season 37 of Saturday Night Live premiered on September 24, 2011.

Writers for 1st season (1975):

Anne Beatts, Chevy Chase, Tom Davis, Al Franken, Lorne Michaels,

Marilyn Suzanne Miller, Michael O'Donoghue, Herb Sargent, Tom Schiller,

Rosie Shuster, Alan Zweibel

Your best bet is to write to NBC Studios with 3 requested dates, generally 4-6 weeks in advance, the names and ages of everyone in your party (keep them small), and anything else you feel they should know. Unlike many talk shows, NBC has generally hushed ticket distribution, so finding the right address might be tough. The phone is a nifty tool for information.

All members of your party must be of 16 or 17 years of age and older (I don't know which one) and all tapings are done live at 30 Rockerfeller Plaza in New York City. They are on Saturdays and begin at 11:35 and end at 1:35, and they do not do tapings every week, so you may want to see which weeks they will and will not be taping.

I hear you can also send an e-mail to snltickets@nbcuni.com or get stand-by tickets at 7 a.m. Saturday mornings, if you feel lucky.

Dan Ackroyd for his supporting role in "Driving Miss Daisy"

Peyton Manning hosted Saturday Night Live once - on March 24, 2007.

Justin Timberlake said in an interview "it's the best 5000 you can make" so I would assume 5000$ is the standard rate.

it is called you tube

I don't know a correct answer, but it is NOT that.

As of July 2013 all but:

Erin Murphy who played Tabitha.

Bernard Fox who played Dr. Bombay.

5000 is standard for a guest host.

No. Robert Redford rarely appears on live television, which is interesting because he appeared on numerous TV shows when he was a rising young actor during the 1950s and early 1960s. If he ever agreed to guest host "Saturday Night Live," there would be a sensational reaction throughout the media. Redford also has a notorious reputation for tardiness, which wouldn't make him the ideal SNL host.

Michael Jordan hosted the first episode of SNL's 17th season, on the 28th of September 1991.

It began in 1975 so that makes it 32yrs

He did 2 skits. He sang the song "Baby" and "U Smile" and he did a skit where the substitute teacher likes him and another where this girl dances with him and Justin is a nerd. He was only in that sketch for about 30 sec. But the first sketch he was in that one for about 5 min.(:
