    Why is it important to have a sense of humor?

    Happy Birthday, Saturday Night Live! Today in history: Saturday Night Live premiers in 1975. The live broadcast show is full of spoofs, parodies, and the ever-classic Weekend Update. The show’s influence has played a growing role in politics, as seen in the 2008 elections.
    Saturday Night Live, which premiered in 1975, hosts celebrities and political figures in their parodies and skits. Here, Secretary Clinton is with Amy Poehler, can you guess which one is which?
