58% Informative

Saturday Night tells the story of the first -ever broadcast of Saturday Night Live.

Director Jason Reitman says the film is not intended to be a laugh riot, but it's a thriller-comedy.

The story starts at 30 Rockefeller Center at 10 p.m. on October 11, 1975 , and culminates with the show's first broadcast.

Jason Reitman is the son of the late Ivan , who produced Animal House and directed Stripes and Ghostbusters .

Saturday Night is not based on any of the books and articles that have been written about the show.

The movie also delves into the behind-the-scenes wrangling of the NBC team that brought SNL into America ’s living rooms.

In the movie, Garrett Morris feels adrift and uncertain about this new endeavor.

Lamorne: "Subconsciously, you are picking up cues from those before you. No matter what I do, at some point, it probably came from Flip Wilson , Richard Pryor , Eddie Murphy ".
