Today we’re reviewing the newly-released Saturday Night Live docudrama, “Saturday Night” (2024). Depicting the 90-minute lead-up to SNL’s inaugural show on October 11, 1975, this Jason Reitman-directed project (“Juno,” “Up in the Air,” “Tully”) used first-person interviews, contemporaneous news articles, and extensive scholarship to construct a gripping account of the birth of America’s unlikeliest comedy institution. With extraordinary impressions of SNL’s iconic first cast, “Saturday Night” gives hilarious homage to greats like John Belushi (Matt Wood), Chevy Chase (Cory Michael Smith), Dan Aykroyd (Dylan O’Brien), Gilda Radner (Ella Hunt), Jane Curtin (Kim Matula), Andy Kaufman (Nicholas Braun), Jim Henson (also Nicholas Braun), and Lorne Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle). It’s a must-watch for creatives and comedy fans — let’s get into it!
