On October 11th, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. This is the true story of what happened that night behind the scenes in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of SNL. The chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, as we countdown the minutes in real time to the infamous words, Live From New York, it’s Saturday Night. The screenplay is based on an extensive series of interviews conducted by Reitman and Kenan with all the living cast, writers, and crew.

They’ve started filming

Finn Wolfhard has been spotted on the set so he’s also been cast, role currently unknown

Oh this cast gonna be big plus the producers behind the stage prolly gonna have a significant role

Gerber is playing Jacqueline Carlin, Wolfhard will play an NBC page, and Feldman is playing Neil Levy.

I wonder if this is gonna be shot in “1 take” being it’s playing out in real time

You could not pay me to sit through watching a 2+ hour slobjob of 70s SNL, if this is successful I’ll eat a shoe

EDIT: tweet deleted said filming wrapped but maybe they were wrong?

Hope you like a size 10
