As a dedicated follower of the history and evolution of iconic television shows, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming film “Saturday Night.” Having grown up watching reruns of SNL episodes, it’s fascinating to delve into the untold stories behind the scenes – especially when it comes to the first-ever episode on Oct. 11, 1975.
On August 8th, the initial preview for a film chronicling the events preceding the very first episode of Saturday Night Live on October 11, 1975, was unveiled. Over four decades since this legendary show first aired, director Jason Reitman (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) shares insights into how creator Lorne Michaels and the original cast prepared for their groundbreaking premiere.
As a devoted admirer, I’m excitedly sharing that the trailer unveils an emerging Lorne Michaels, brilliantly portrayed by Gabrielle LaBelle from The Fabelmans, striving to polish a live TV comedy show. This production stars a band of unknown talents, with no certainty of success, but their performances are promising.
The short promotional clip highlights a youthful portrayal of Lorne Michaels, acted by Gabrielle LaBelle from The Fabelmans, who is diligently working to perfect a live television comedy production featuring an unestablished ensemble of comedians, with no certainty of their show becoming successful.
The cast features Dylan O’Brien as Dan Aykroyd, Cory Michael Smith as Chevy Chase, Lamorne Morris as Garrett Morris, Ella Hunt as Gilda Radner, Emily Fairn as Laraine Newman, Kim Matula as Jane Curtin, and Matt Wood as John Belushi.
As a long-time fan of Saturday Night Live (SNL), I am thrilled to see such a talented and diverse ensemble brought together for this upcoming project. Having grown up watching SNL skits and appreciating its impact on pop culture, it’s fascinating to learn about the lives and careers of the people who made it all happen.
In October 2025, the movie that Reitman co-wrote with Gil Kenan is set to hit theaters. Notably, this release coincides with the beginning of SNL’s 50th season. To celebrate this milestone, SNL will broadcast a three-hour special on February 16, 2025.
