Throughout it all, NBC executives threaten to shut down the show before it even began.
Overall,Saturday Nightshows just how miraculous it was thatSNLmade it to air at all.
Saturday NightturnsSaturday Night Livecreator Lorne Michaels as the main character, with actor Gabriel LaBell playing the young producer.
However,this ensemble film shines a spotlight on many ofSNL’s major players from the first season.
The result is a surprisingly tense character study that also never stops being funny.
All in all,Saturday Nightshows howSNLwas very much an underdog in the world of television.
Nobody knew how bigSNLwould become 50 years ago.
