My understanding is that the official Saturday Night Live clips on YouTube have been silently edited to remove "problematic" skits.

I will again make my proposal regarding such edits (and continued availability of content in general <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39113529>):

* If a Blu-ray of a film or TV show has excised or modified scenes for whatever reason, and the original isn't also made available (whether on a different "theatrical cut" release, or as a different cut on the same disc), the entire original version immediately goes into public domain.

* If NBC posts Saturday Night Live skits on YouTube that have removed "problematic" scenes without explaining the differences—a diff file, basically—the entire original skit loses copyright protection.

The Official SNL Channel still has "Word Association" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuEBBwJdjhQ) available; so, maybe there's some hope.
