STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Live from New York, it's Christopher Bligh, standing in line!

The Pleasant Plains native has been in the audience for a whopping 92 episodes of "Saturday Night Live."

Hattie Burgher, Amanda Furrer and Alexander Gonzalez -- students in the New York University Journalism Graduate program -- discovered Bligh while out in Manhattan searching for a story to pitch their "Intro to Multimedia Journalism" class.

The trio was soon following him on his often questionable ventures -- standby tickets require hours of patience -- to "SNL" tapings for weeks.

"We needed to make a web post where we used different elements to tell the story," Gonzalez told SILive. "It started as an assignment -- and turned into something larger."

The 40-year-old Islander's love for television, film and nostalgia keeps him coming back to stand in long lines at Rockefeller Center.

"The ironic thing is that I came into the world six months after 'SNL' had started," Bligh told NYU Magazine. "There's always been a link of 'SNL' with me. Whenever my brothers were watching it, if we had a sketch that made us laugh our asses off, we'd be quoting it."

Larry Bligh, Christopher's father, told the students that although they are a family of TV buffs, his son just takes it "one step further."

But is it worth all the trouble?

"Yeah, I would say it's worth it," Christopher said.

Here's hoping he makes it into the audience January 14, when the iconic sketch comedy series returns from holiday break with host Felicity Jones ("Rogue One") and musical guest, country singer Sturgill Simpson.
