Sol's ability to see new trends in entertainment was perhaps his greatest forte. At an NBC network party in the mid 70's he began blabbering on about the lack of real live television since Ed Sullivan was canceled and a young producer by the name of Lorne Michaels was listening. Chief NBC programmer at the time, Tony Buccelli admits that one of the network's stalwart broadcasts would not have come to fruition without the Rabbi's foresight.

"Lorne comes to me the one day with the idea for Saturday Night Live. We practically laughed him out of the office until he said this Rabbi had told him the show would only work if it was put on late at night. Listen, we didn't know about any 'Rabbi', but the late night idea caught our attention!"

Unfortunately, although his ideas were the inspiration for the show, the Rabbi has never been asked to host or even perform on SNL. When asked about this obviously "sore subject" the Rabbi waved a hand and said:

"Sheveig!!! Drai Zich!!! Zol dir vaksen tzibbeles fun pupik, Me lozt nit leben, Gottenyu… A krenk zol im arayn in di yosles" Loosely translated means: "Shut up! Turn around and keep going, get moving!! Onions should grow from your navel!! They don't let you live, people keep aggravating me!! Oh God!! May a disease enter their gums!!!".
