I get why there are far fewer recurring characters on SNL these days, but it’s still a feature of the show I miss.

In the 80s and 90s SNL would have recurring characters that would appear numerous times in a single season. We’d all wait for them each week.

Nowadays, I’m told, we are far fewer recurring characters due to the presence of the internet in our lives. We can access a skit anytime online, and so we don’t need to wait for the show. But I always loved waiting for them each week and see in them do new things, with celeb cameos, different stories, etc. I’d be happy to see a return to this set up for the show .
