My friend just told me she got an email saying that the SNL that Queen were musical guests on will be on after the usual 11:30 SNL on Saturday night. I just checked the SNL website and it didn't say anything so I hope it's true!

I can't confirm or deny, but if Danny DeVito's hosting, it's the right one!

Well, according to the NBC schedule:

http://www.nbc.com/nbc/header/TV_Schedule/schedule_day-20040626.html

1:01 AM SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (ALL NIGHT) 302 - CHEVY CHASE/QUEENoad 9/25/82

That would be the one.. funny they mention Chevy and not Danny though. Before someone asks what 'All Night' means, that's what NBC calls their overnight schedule.. it doesn't mean _this_ show will literally be on all night :-P

Anyway, it's great news because they show the complete original 90 minute episodes, unlike the recent Comedy Central reruns.
Here's a synopsis from an episode guide.. there are many online for SNL. CHC refers to Chevy Chase:

cold: CHC explains why he'll do the show via satellite from Burbank
skit: Tyrone Green is the darling of the New York art scene
misc: JOP announces that he's fallen in love with Rose Kennedy & wants nuptials
misc: John Hinckley (BRH) announces he's a candidate for President
show: Mystery Theatre- Zacherley (John Zacherle) & a video Land Shark
comm: Popiel Galactic Prophylactic & Dura-phram- EDM touts the tough devices
show: Late Night with David Letterman (JOP)- Gumby & a Bob the Dog film
news JOP's football strike resolution proposal appeals to players' drug habits
news during a phone call to James Watt, BRH gives him a piece of his mind
news Father Andrew B. Titus (TIK) dislikes Reader's Digest's condensed Bible
news Tonight Show set in Burbank doubles for Tel Aviv during CHC's report
misc: Danny DeVito [real] introduces musical guest
song musical guest performs "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"
FILM "Alan, A Video Junkie" by Claude Kerven- children addicted to video games
show: PTC Club- April May June (JLD) preaches, (GAK) heals audience members
misc Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert [real] review the show & criticize CHC
song musical guest performs "Under Pressure"

And here's the listing at tvtome.com:

This is definitely something I have to remember to watch. I was only one when it debuted so I've never seen it before. I'm just lucky I don't have to work the next day.
YAY!!
I saw it when it was new and LIVE -- tape will be just as great, more than twenty years later...
*yike*
They have broadcasted that SNL show with Queen as guests, on the Swedish tv channel ZTV, 2 times this year!
I have taped it. Last time there was a picture of Freddie in the Swedish tv-guide too! :)

Btw, nice new picture Erica, you look wonderful! :)
Erica, It seems you keep getting more an more fans. Be careful. ;)

Hahaha Dan... thank you FredM! :-)

AHHHH I'm so gonna tape this -- I'm actually still downloading it right now but it's not amazing quality. Oh, I'm really excited.

Yeah, I HAVE to tape it! I'd better dig out my tape that has legends on it! :D

I have to figure out my VCR. I'm so used to a DVD player by now that recording on a VCR has kind of escaped me. Since the TV that has the VCR is next to my parents' room, I have to keep it low or on mute. Is it okay to keep it on mute while recording? Will there be sound?

WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER THIS!

OMG, this is so funny! I love that some people are still confused about stuff like this :)

Erica, you have to understand that a VCR is self-contained.. if it's getting a signal from its tuner, or cable box, or however it works for you, then it's recording the audio and video, in color. Some people used to ask stuff like.. if I watch it on a black & white TV, will it record black & white.. hehe.

Your TV doesn't even need to be on. The TV is just a monitor. So yes, you can have the TV on mute and it won't affect it :)

Edit: There needs to be a tape in it though, and put the record speed to 'SP' for best quality and get a new tape.. you'll have plenty of extra time.

And when you set a timer, start it a minute earlier and give it a couple minutes extra at the end. Stuff is never exactly on time these days.
Haaahaha thank you so much Deacon Fan. For someone like me who is so stuck up about technology, I don't even remember that. Thanks!
