OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
“On October 11, 1975, a fierce troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. This is the true story of what happened that night behind the scenes in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of 'SNL.' The chaos and magic of a revolution that almost didn't happen, as we count down the minutes in real time to the infamous words: “Live from New York, it's Saturday night.”
Reitman directs the script he co-wrote with Gil Kenan (Ghostbusters: Afterlife).
Reitman, Kenan, Jason Blumenfeld and Peter Rice serve as producers. Erica Mills and JoAnn Perritano serve as executive producers.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Reitman explained the script process:
“We interviewed everyone we could find who was alive from opening night. Every living cast member, every living writer, art department people, costume, hair and makeup, the NBC agents, members of Billy Preston’s band… I mean, everyone we could find.”
“I always describe this movie as a shuttle launch and the question was, ‘Would they go out of orbit? ’”
Michaels was the showrunner of SNL from 1975 to 1980. In 1985 he resumed this work and continues to this day.
SNL has received a total of 314 Emmy nominations, with 84 wins. It has been responsible for launching the careers of comedians such as Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, and many more.
