At 11:30 p.m. on October 11, 1975, a fierce group of young comedians and writers changed television forever. Directed by Jason Reitman and written by Gil Kenan and Reitman, Saturday Night is based on the true story of what happened behind the scenes during the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Full of humor, chaos and the magic of a revolution that almost didn’t happen, we count down the minutes in real time to the famous words: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”
