The story of Saturday Night Live‘s first episode is the basis for a new movie, and there are different options for where to watch Saturday Night in theaters or on streaming. While Saturday Night Live has been on the air for 50 seasons and became a staple of late night television, the popularity and longevity of the show was not a foregone conclusion. The comedy sketch show had humble beginnings from Lorne Michaels. And while SNL has been the origin for so many comedic movie stars over the years, Saturday Night explores the show’s origins before the first episode.
