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