Video of the Day: American Dope Growers Union [SNL 1977] 0 By Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ on March 10, 2011 Culture, Growing Laraine Newman takes the lead in this great sketch from Saturday Night Live. I was 16 when this first aired in April 1977 (and yes, I was watching). Don’t forget that Union label! Photo: YouTube american dope growers union comedy entertainment newman Share.
