1. I saw an alert on this earlier today and immediately thought "Spider Sabich" before I even

thought about her ex, Andy Williams.

But the killing of Sabich was a big damned deal in Colorado and I never really bought her story.

Well, I guess if my inkling is correct, maybe she had to live with the whole ordeal at least.

2. My onceuponatime significant other wrote that SNL sketch.

It was censored afterwards from being replayed as there was a gag order in place by the court.

9. The Claudine Longet Ski Invitational.

Edgy and funny as hell. A classic.

[blm]

10. Back then O'Donoghue was the most censored person working in television.

The recent film, Saturday Night, showed a bit of the wrangling between the network censors and O’Donoghue before the first show. It became increasingly bitter as the years went by, especially under Fred Silverman.

5. I was a teen @ the time but I got a nice set of K2 spider skis @ a good price after her "the gun went boom"

thing. 350 $s for the package …skis, boots, bindings, and poles for about $100.

Much before the "accidental shooting" of Savich.

12. SNL apologized for that.

The show made its first on-air apology the following week after being contacted by Longet’s lawyers. Then-announcer Don Pardo read a statement saying: “It is desirable to correct any misunderstanding that a suggestion was made that, in fact, a crime had been committed. The satire was fictitious and its intent only humorous. This is a statement of apology if the material was misinterpreted.”
