Meanwhile, Henson's Muppets were featured in "The Land of Gorch" skits during the first (1975-76) season of the American comedy television program "Saturday Night Live". Although they lasted for only that one season on "Saturday Night Live" due to conflicts with that show's writers and producers, Henson and his team learned a great deal from being involved with the production. They gained institutional knowledge about adapting and quickly creating a television program within a seven-day period. Henson also gained valuable friendships with multiple celebrities through his work on "Saturday Night Live". Henson and his team were later able to use these skills and relationships on "The Muppet Show".
