Sony Pictures released the first trailer for Saturday Night, Jason Reitman’s exploration into the origins of NBC’s iconic sketch comedy show.
The opening night of NBC’s Saturday Night Live was chaotic, to say the least. The film begins at 10 p.m. ET on October 11, 1975, 90 minutes until SNL ’s first episode airs. SNL creator Lorne Michaels is scrambling to finalize the script and get his crew under control. Meanwhile, the young cast is causing havoc on the set. NBC’s Dick Ebersol tries to convince Michaels to punt on the show, even going so far as to say the network wants it to fail.
Recommended Videos “NBC is lucky to have something as relevant as this show,” Michaels emphatically tells Ebersol. “We just have to make it to air.” SATURDAY NIGHT – Official Trailer The actors playing SNL‘s inaugural cast include Dylan O’Brien as Dan Aykroyd, Matt Wood as John Belushi, Ella Hunt as Gilda Radner, Lamorne Morris as Garrett Morris, Emily Fairn as Laraine Newman, Tommy Dewey as Michael O’Donoghue, Kim Matula as Jane Curtin, and Cory Michael Smith as Chevy Chase.
