With its mix of sketch comedy and music, \u003ci\u003eSNL\u003c\/i\u003e grabbed huge ratings and several Emmys in its first season. President Ford's press secretary, Ron Nessen, was the first politician to host \u003ci\u003eSNL\u003c\/i\u003e. Ford also appeared on the show, via video tape, to offer a comic counterpunch to Chevy Chase's signature line, \"I'm Chevy Chase and you're not.\" Since then, it has become a rite of passage for national politicians to appear on \u003ci\u003eSNL\u003c\/i\u003e, and the show's treatment of them and their platforms has a continuing impact on political discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam T.
