More on Saturday Night Live
Description from Wikipedia:
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a late-night television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) in the United States of America (USA). It made its debut on October 11, 1975, under the title NBC's Saturday Night. Broadcast live out of Studio 8H at the GE Building in New York's Rockefeller Center, it is subsequently relayed with a time delay to both domestic and foreign markets.
The show regularly attempts to lampoon many aspects of contemporary American society, such as politics and popular culture, including both television and film. The show features a two-tiered cast (originally known on-air as the "Not Ready For Prime-Time Players"), joined by a guest host and musical act.
Overseen by show creator, Lorne Michaels, who, excluding seasons 6–10, has been with the show throughout, first as producer and subsequently as a writer and executive producer. Show production is handled jointly by Broadway Video, SNL Studios, and NBC. As of 2010, Saturday Night Live is one of the longest-running network programs in American television history. In addition, several of the show's sketches have been developed into feature films.
Throughout its history, except for season 7 and other rare exceptions, one of the show's trademarks has been a cold open, usually a sketch parodying a current news event or public figure, ending with a participant breaking character, turning to the camera and exclaiming "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"
