''Saturday Night Live'' (often abbreviated to ''SNL'') is an American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol that airs on NBC and Peacock. Michaels currently serves as the program's showrunner. The show premiere was hosted by George Carlin on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title ''NBC's Saturday Night''.

In 1980, Michaels left the series to explore other opportunities. He wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
