Nice look behind the scenes of one of the longest running comedy shows on American TV. An hour and a half of chaos and uncertainty. All different characters, with different personalities, and everyone has an opinion about everything. That guarantees the necessary humor, but mostly uncertainty about whether the show can go on.

Now I read that the film is quite added at times, and that not everything is based on the truth, but of course it is and remains a film. Romanticizing the situation a bit is no sin. Great film.

Some prior knowledge is required, but then you'll have something. This loosely constructed, seemingly largely improvised recording of the hectic last few hours before the launch of the first episode of the legendary Saturday Night Live on October 11, 1975 is often very funny and delightfully compelling, with a first-class cast and just the right atmosphere.

It's October 11, 1975, and in 90 minutes the first episode of "Saturday Night," a live entertainment program featuring stand-up comedy, sketches and musical performances, is set to air. It's shaping up to be a disaster: the dress rehearsal has gone on way too long, guest host George Carlin [Matthew Rhys] is grumbling at everyone and everything, Andy Kaufman [Nicholas Braun] is dropping out frequently, John Belushi [Matt Wood] has yet to sign his contract and is attacking Cornelius "Chevy" Chase [Cory Michael Smith], Jim Henson [Nicholas Braun] is waiting for a script for his Muppets sketch, and a young NBC employee [Finn Wolfhard] is having a hard time getting an audience. Technically, too, things go wrong, prompting David Tebet [Willem Dafoe] to threaten to cancel the show and rerun The Johnny Carson Show. Reitman recreates the anarchy and chaos behind the scenes with a compelling cast and excellent cinematography by Eric Steelberg. A masterful tribute to a group of television creators who revolutionized television and comedy, and a reminder of the importance of innovators and creative minds. Familiarity with Saturday Night Live (which begins its 50th season in 2024) is a plus. JK Simmons is hilarious as Milton Berle.
