“There was an important matter of terminology, too: Saturday Night would feature “sketches,” not “skits.” Skits are one-joke bits done in grade school or by guys at the Rotary Club. A sketch is more complex; it’s a vignette, with a beginning, middle, and end. Michaels also declaimed his views about realism in comedy. He explained that realistic sets and costumes, unlike silly, over-the-top ones, don’t compete with the writing.”
