SNL back on E!

[Jixby Phillips]

comedy central used to have the rights to every season to snl. When season 27 was up for grabs, E got it for whatever reason. They also got the first 5 seasons, comedy central wasn't showing them anyway. So for a while, comedy central just had seasons 6-26 to show, and they didn't stray too far out of the 90s.

Then, like hound said, they made some kind of clip special, and it wasn't part of their contract.
