SNL’s First Episode Will Re-Air on NBC to Celebrate Its 50th Anniversary
The debut episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL) originally aired on October 11, 1975, with comedian George Carlin as host. You might recall him from his well-known comedy routine about the seven words you can’t say on TV. Interestingly, at that time, the show wasn’t yet known as SNL; it was called NBC’s Saturday Night. The latest movie titled “Saturday Night” offers a look into the chaotic process of the live broadcast for the first time. While not the greatest film ever made, it certainly sheds light on what happened that October night.
