UChris Kattan wayengekho ndawo ukuba abonwe ngexesha le-Okthobha 23 isiqendu sangoMgqibelo ebusuku. Oko kwakusengqiqweni, kuba umboniso wawubanjwe nguNorm Macdonald.
Kuyabonakala ukuba, uMnu. Macdonald kunye noMnu Kattan banenzondo.
Ngo-Novemba ngo-1997, uMnu.Macdonald wathetha ngeemvakalelo zakhe malunga noMnumzana Kattan kudliwanondlebe noRolling Stone: Andazi, kodwa kum ubonakala ngathi ulifanasini, utshilo uMnu Macdonald. Ubanga ukuba akakho, kodwa andikaze ndibone, ngathi, umfana ongekho gay kubonakala ngathi ulifanasini. Andimfumani ehlekisayo. Ingaba ndingathini? Zange andihlekise.
Kwakwinqaku elifanayo, uMnu. Kattan uphendule wathi: UNorm undinika ixesha elinzima… Ukuba uNorm uthi ndilifanasini, yibeke loo nto ndithi uyimpundu.
Ngelixa ukuxabana okungaprintwanga kwenzelwe ikopi elungileyo, abantu ababekhona ngeMigqibelo yoBusuku ngokuPhila xa bobabini uMnu Macdonald kunye noMnu Kattan babephoswa ngamalungu bathi yaqhubekeka yaya kumdlalo. Babenobudlelwane obunomdla kakhulu, utshilo umthombo oxhunywe kwi-SNL. I-Norm yayiza kukrazula [Mnu. Kattan] ebusweni bakhe. UNorm ungumntu onqabileyo. Ukuba akamthandi umntu, uya kuyithetha ebusweni bakhe.
Kwelinye icala, uMnu. Kattan wayesaziwa ngokwenza imbasa uMnu. Macdonald kwanangaphambi nje kwemizuzu ngaphambi kwexesha lomoya. Ngaba ukungathandani kwabo omnye komnye kungunobangela wokungabikho kukaMnu Kattan ngexesha lomdlalo we-Okthobha u-23? Umpapashi we-SNL wathi kwenzeke nje ukuba uMnu Macdonald kunye noMnu Kattan babekwe ukuba bavele kumzobo owabulawa emva kokuziqhelanisa nokunxiba, nto leyo ingaqhelekanga.
Imithombo engaphakathi kwe-SNL ithe yinyani, kodwa ayikhange iqwalasele ubudlelwane obuxineneyo njengesizathu soko. Ewe, ngexesha lentlanganiso yomzobo weSNL ebutsheni bale veki, uMnu Kattan kunye noMnumzana Macdonald bebequbisana etafileni, ngokutsho komthombo kufutshane nomboniso. Kodwa umthombo owayekwelo gumbi wathi le nto yayiqhubeka phakathi kwala madoda mabini yayingeyonyani ncam.
Ndingathi kukubhabha kwendalo, utshilo umthombo. Kodwa banezimbo ezahluke kakhulu, kwaye kwenzeka ntoni kakhulu kukuba xa umntu enesimbo esahlukileyo sombuki zindwendwe, kunzima kubo ukuba bangene kulo mboniso. Baqala ukusebenza ngento kunye xa kwacaca ukuba uChris akananto ayenzayo. Okwangoku, omnye umthombo we-SNL uthe uMnu Kattan akazange amangaliswe akwenziwanga ukusika. Emva komboniso wayefana, 'Ndiyazi ukuba le izakuba yiveki enzima, utshilo umthombo. Akukho Mnu Kattan okanye uMnu Macdonald abaphendulanga kwizicelo zokubeka izimvo.
Umnumzana Kattan ubonakale eyifumene indawo yakhe kumdlalo okoko uMnu Macdonald elubhacweni ngowayengumphathi we NBC West Coast uDon Ohlmeyer kunyaka onesiqingatha odlulileyo. Wayehlala edlala indoda yenkawu eyayikhotha abantu kunye ne-Roxbury Guy ebamba intloko, zombini eziya kude kube ngoku. Mva nje uye wahleka kakhulu njengesiqingatha (kunye noCheri Oteri) wesibini esitshatileyo esine-kinky nanjengoMango, umdanisi ongaqhelekanga okhangeleka ngokungathandabuzekiyo emadodeni nakwabafazi. Nditsho noGarth Brooks uthathe inxaxheba kumzobo weMango, ethembisa uthando lwakhe kwi-ambisexual, leopard-print-wearing maniac. Ukuba abavelisi be-SNL babenesibindi esithe kratya, ngebanyanzele uMnu.Macdonald ukuba enze isohlwayo ngenxa yezimvo zakhe ngokwenza imeko yothando kunye nendoda acinga ukuba iyisitabane. Ndiyathetha, kunjalo? Ngokuhlwanje kuphindaphindo lweSNL, uDana Carvey kunye no-Edie Brickell. [I-Comedy Central, 45, 6 PM]

Kodwa kungekudala ngokwaneleyo, ngoLwesine, Okt. 21, inkqubo ephambili yasemva kwemini, ebizwa ngokuba yi-ka-ching, yacinywa. Endaweni yokwenza ingxelo yemizuzu engama-90 yenkqubo yasemini, izahlulo ze-ka-ching ziya kusongwa zibe yinkqubo yeeyure ezimbini zexesha eliphambili elibizwa ngokuba yi-Pure Oxygen. Isizathu esinikiweyo: akukho mali yaneleyo yokuhlawula yonke into ebeyicwangcisiwe.
Iindaba zathumela ukuphola ngabasebenzi be-Oxygen. Okokuqala, i-ka-ching iye yahlawuliswa njengenye yeebhloko zokuqala ze-Oxygen zenkqubo yeebhloko kunye ne-bent-friendly bent.

Kodwa ndisakholwayo, ndisathenga yonke into. Ndiyathetha, ngaba ikhona indlela elungileyo yokwenza into enjalo? Isithethi se-Oxygen sathi ezi zinto zenzeka ngesiqalo kwaye savuma ukungena kwezopolitiko zangaphakathi zenkampani. [CNBC, 15, 6:30 PM]

Indima yokuqala kaJudy Garland engengomculo njengomntu omdala yayingumfanekiso wesibini emgceni owawuvezwe nguVincente Minnelli, emva komculo wabo wokujika wenkulungwane odumileyo umculo wokudibana Nam eSt. Kukhutshwe kwakuloo nyaka waba ngumyeni wakhe wokuqala, unyaka ngaphambi kokuba kuzalwe intombi yabo uLiza Minnelli. Ukubambisana nomnye wee-1940 ezithandwa kakhulu, ezithandekayo, uRobert Walker, njengeMfazwe yeMfazwe Yehlabathi II kwiiyure ezingama-48 kwiSixeko saseNew York, ifilimu encinci eyaziwayo emnyama nemhlophe iyonwabile ngokwenene, Ibali lothando elichukumisayo-lika-1945 ngandlel 'ithile eyintsomi-njenge-Clock [NgoMvulo, Novemba 1, Turner Classic Movies, 82, 4 PM; nakwividiyo].
Isihloko sineentsingiselo ezininzi, eyona nto siyithethayo yeyewotshi enkulu ejikelezayo eManhattan's Grand Central Terminal, apho izithandani ezibini ziqala ukudibana khona ngamabona-ndenzile. Iwotshi eyiGrand Central ikwalapho izithandani ziphinda zifumanane khona, emva kokuphulukana nomnxeba kwesinye isihlwele, kwinto ekunokwenzeka ukuba lolona hlobo lomfanekiso luhamba ngokulandelelana kwezothando. Indawo enkulu ngakumbi ekubhekiswa kuyo kwijoni eliselula kwixesha le-furlough lilinganiselwe ngokungqongqo kwiintsuku ezimbini ezimfutshane. Nangona kunjalo ubomi obudlulayo kwezi yure zimfutshane-zizisa isigqebelo kwisihloko-kuba ixesha alikho ngaphezulu kwesihlobo kunakwimicimbi yentliziyo.
Iskripthi esomeleleyo ngumbhali wenoveli uRobert Nathan noJoseph Schrank, badutyulwa ngokuqaqambileyo ngumlobi bhanyabhanya ongumlobi uGeorge Folsey, umboniso bhanyabhanya unemiboniso eyoyikisayo hayi kwezi nkwenkwezi zimbini kuphela kodwa nakubadlali abalinganiswa abanobuqaqawuli njengoJames Gleason othandekayo waseNew York esenza ubisi lobisi, kunye no Keenan Wynn njengomntu onxilileyo onxilileyo. Umvelisi we-lyricist u-Arthur Freed-eyunithi yakhe yaduma ngokwenza zonke ezona zinto zibalaseleyo zomculo ze-M-M-zenze iidrama ezimbalwa kakhulu, le yayiyeyakhe yokuqala, njengoko yayingu-Minnelli. (Ngapha koko, ngelixa i-Clock yayingumboniso we-20 kaGarland, yayingowesihlanu umlawuli kuphela.)
Kodwa u-Minnelli ubonakalisa ubuqaqawuli kwangoko kuhlobo lokuphakama kwenyani, ngokuthantamisa, kodwa eqinile kulawulo lwesakhiwo se-episodic, esingalibalekiyo ekusebenzeni kamva njengoBubi kunye noLungileyo kwaye abanye beza bebaleka. Njengobalaseleyo njengoko uGarland ekule Clock, eneminyaka engama-22, kuyadabukisa ukuqonda ukuba akazange enze omnye umsebenzi omdaka de kube phantse kwiminyaka elishumi kamva kwi -A Star Is Born, emva koko zintathu izinto zokudlala ezivuthiweyo kunye nomsebenzi wakhe wawuphelile.
Yonke le nto yenza ukuba Iwotshi ixabiseke nangakumbi, enye yezohlobo, umzuzwana kwimbali yelizwe nakwimiboniso bhanyabhanya ', ukunqamleza ukwenza umsitho onamandla: UJudy Garland noRobert Walker njenge-archetypally average, abantwana abamsulwa baseMelika , ubanjwe ngexesha lemfazwe, uziswe luthando oluthembisa kungekuphela nje ithemba eliqaqambileyo kodwa uhlobo lokungafi. Ukuba uMinnelli noGarland kungenzeka ukuba bonwabile kakhulu xa isibini apha sinegalelo kwimo yemilingo ehlawulweyo emfanekisweni. Umyeni nenkosikazi basebenze kunye kwakhona kwiifilimu ezintathu zikaGarland ezilandelayo- iZiegfeld Follies, Till the Clouds Roll By and The Pirate -ababo bokugqibela bebhanqa umculo kaGene Kelly-Cole Porter odla ngokubonakalayo, nangona ingaphumeleli. Baqhawula umtshato ngo-1951, kodwa bahlala benobuhlobo de kwasekufeni kwakhe okulusizi kwiminyaka eli-18 kamva eneminyaka engama-47.
Ngelishwa, ngo-1951, uRobert Walker wasweleka eneminyaka engama-32; nangaphambi nasemva kweWotshi akazange abeke indima elungileyo okanye umlawuli kude kube sekufeni kwakhe xa uAlfred Hitchcock wamphosa njengombulali onobukrelekrele obunamandla kubantu abangaqhelekanga kuLoliwe. U-Walker wanikezela ngokusebenza ngokungaqhelekanga, phakathi kweyona nto ibalaseleyo kuwo wonke umsebenzi kaHitchcock. Umdlali weqonga wayesandula ukugqiba omnye umzobo onzima ku-Leo McCarey's onesiphako ngokunzulu Unyana wam u-John xa wahlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo ngequbuliso. I-Clock, ke, yeyona nto iphambili kwezothando kwimisebenzi yabaculi abathathu baseHollywood abanetalente kwaye abaxabisekileyo, kuphela omnye wabo owayehlala ukufezekisa amandla akhe.
