Nöel Wells

I just deleted many cases where Wells was listed as a head writer. Can't find any evidence of this. DefinitionOfShoegaze (talk) 05:48, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[Untitled]

Rosie Shuster is missing (and doesn't appear to have a Wikipedia entry). She wrote for the first few seasons of the show.

Should we highlight the writers who were also cast?

???

Writer Photo

Hey, I like how Mike was given his own photo at the top of the page. Does anyone have issue with me giving more head writers their own photo when they first become head writer? Water78 (talk) 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Not at all. I intended to add photos for each new head writer (or notable writer) but I didn't get round to it and couldn't find photos for many of them. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:43, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation

Do you think we should have a section explaining why the SNL writing has been so awful for the past few years? Angry bee (talk) 03:43, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline needs additional visual aids

The timeline is so large it's almost useless. At the top, you can't tell what the vertical lines mean — and once you know that they're five-year markers, you can't tell at the top which line corresponds to which year. At the bottom, you can't tell which colored bar corresponds to which name because they're too far apart. Can the left and bottom axis labels be repeated at the right and top? And can dotted or dashed "guidelines" be added (say, on every 5th row) so the names can more easily be linked visually (and, I guess, literally) to the corresponding bars? - dcljr (talk) 07:31, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Head writers graph?

I'm not sure what software is used to create the graph of the writers at the bottom of the page - I would be interested in making one just for the head writers (as that might be a more interesting graphic to see!) Could someone point me towards resources for that?

Trump vs Wizard of Ozz

I was thinking ,of when the bad Witch of the East ordered her Monkey Army to attack Ozz. It reminded me of Trump sending his Monkeys to attack the capital. Would make an interesting skit if choreographed With the SNL touch 2600:6C47:BA00:1275:C05C:E501:9E94:8BA9 (talk) 16:24, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
