You know you’re a brand when . . .
. . . you appear on a skit on Saturday Night Live.
If you haven’t seen this clip from last week’s SNL, prepare not only for a few chuckles, but prepare ye for one of the seven deadly sins to start bubbling up upside you.
I couldn’t help but feel a little envy seeing all those shows satirized in the skit, because this kind of treatment means you’ve crossed over . . . way over . . . into the mainstream (and the Piven reference doesn’t count, although Lorne Michaels’s stock just went way up in my book).
The skit may have made fun of us, but oh how I would have loved to have been one of the Producers of any one of those shows . . .even Cats.
