Luckily, *Saturday Night Live* isn’t so distant a memory that people have forgotten its early days. Many still have fond memories of the 1975 season, which launched the careers of comedic icons like Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Danny Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, and Laraine Newman—some of whom still tune in today. That first year, the show was still developing its unique style while quickly becoming a major part of American culture, and viewers still remember many charming and entertaining moments from the initial season.
