On October 11, 1975, Saturday Night Live (SNL), a topical comedy
sketch show featuring Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd,
Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman,
made its debut on NBC. The 90-minute program, which from its
inception has been broadcast live from Studio 8H at Rockefeller
Center, included a different guest host and musical act each week.

The opening sketch of each show ends with one actor saying,
“Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
