Could be due to tight timing, as with the Superbowl

Maybe not technical but Lorne mighta instituted the rule after Cypress Hill or RATM or one of teh banned acts.
Iirc they do at Superbowls cause the stadiums aren't made for music so if they didn't the acoustics would be awful. Maybe same reason 1/2
I had to pre-record the national anthem for Fenway because of the audio bouncing around the stadium is batshit. SNL’s studio stage, no.
For SNL? But then why have that a part of your regular program and then not make a decent stage? 2/2
TheGgreen100
That's not true either. The voice comes out the speakers the same either way, live through a mic or played back. Just BS music biz excuses.
There was a huge furore when the Chili's did the half time show because they announced up front they were asked to mime
The reason is that the producers can't afford an un-vetted performance so they pre-record the music for approval, then play the recording.

Several of Charlie Chapman's kids became actors/actresses.
Charlie Chaplin's kids were born after the end of silent film,that's my point: before Chaplin or Keaton,acting wasn't prestigious profession
I thought you were saying FROM the silent era. Like the kids of silent stars. Charlie Chaplins mother was an actress too. So it still works.
So was his father https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Chaplin_Sr.
LtColThorin
This is true for a lot of jobs. Dad was a plumber, you be a plumber. It's not uncommon. Though was less now than it used to be.
Yes but there's a difference between a learned skilled(plumbing) and what's required to act. There's a certain amount of skill that an 1/
actor can learn, but a lot is natural talent/charisma.
