Synopsis
At 11:30pm on October 11th, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. Directed by Jason Reitman and written by Gil Kenan & Reitman, Saturday Night is the true story of what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Full of humor, chaos, and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, we count down the minutes in real time to the famous words: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”
