Over the years, overweight people were often the butt of jokes. One show avoided those stereotypes, showing a trio of overweight sisters trying to improve themselves health-wise and career-wise, and being empathetic souls looking out for their fellow men.

Alec Baldwin, looking about eight years old.
Alec Baldwin is in old episodes of Knots Landing. He plays a TV preacher. And it’s impossible not to hear his I AM GOD speech from Malice.

Our SNL50 celebration wraps up with a contender to the throne which was a direct rip-off of SNL! Fridays had its moments, but it missed making recurring characters who would be remembered nowadays. It also had thrilling guest hosts like Henny Youngman!
