    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    ...what should Centralia's SNL equivalent be called?

    Nevermind that, its continued existence helps contribute to the mystique of both its earlier years, and of NBC as this towering pillar of broadcasting. Also, SNL is a farm system of sorts for NBC talent.

    The Merry Revue?

    Look, I went for the most old-fashioned name I could come up with

    Weird, I only just realized that the current hosts of The Tonight Show and Late Night both came from SNL

    well, yes, without SNL we might never see great talents like Adam Sandler

    You're just peeved about NBC screwing over Conan O'Brien back in 2010

    And how CBS doesn't have anything like SNL, so they had to bring in James Corden and Stephen Colbert from outside (well, not totally outside in Colbert's case) to replace the departing Craig Ferguson and David Letterman

    Not letting Worldwide Pants do some kind of sketch show was a massive misstep on CBS's part

    Especially considering that by 1994 or so Dave was one of the very few things going right for CBS

    It was one of the great legacies of the Zucker-Silverman era of NBC

    It was never of the same stature and Fox didn't own it

    It had its share of alumni (Phil LaMarr, Key & Peele) but it wasn't on the level of In Living Color

    Does it air at the same time throughout the country?

    I don't know, I just figured Centralia was all in one time zone

    Centralia is probably pretty small.

    I assumed Centralia was the size of Texas

    Centralia is actually huge, it's just very long and skinny in a vertical sense, thus remaining in a single time zone despite the large landmass.
