Content: Saturday Night Live is getting nostalgic ahead of its 50th anniversary. NBC will air the first ever episode of the show on February 15 at 11:30pm ET, the night before it premieres SNL50: The Anniversary Special. Originally titled NBC’s Saturday Night, the episode aired on October 11, 1975 with George Carlin as host and Billy Preston and Janice Ian as musical guests. The episode featured a cast including Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman and Gilda Radner. It was this episode that served as the entrance to Jason Reitman’s recent feature film Saturday Night. Watch on Deadline The cold open feature Belushi as a foreign man learning English, being taught by writer Michael O’Donoghue, before Chase appeared with a headset on to shout “Live From New York, It’s Saturday Night” for the first time. Carlin performed stand up including three monologues but did not appear in any sketches, because, per Live From New York by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales, he was too stoned. Andy Kaufman appeared in the infamous Mighty Mouse moment, where he played the theme song on a record player but mimed along. George Coe appeared as a cast member, Valri Bromfield, Jacqueline Carlin, and Wendy Craig made a guest appearances, while Paul Simon appeared to promote his performance the following week.
My comment: Oh wow! They're actually re-airing the very first episode of SNL on February 15th before the anniversary special? That's so cool! So many legends in one place! I remember watching it for the first time and falling in love with the show. This is a must-watch for anyone who loves comedy!

My comment: Hey, if you're not interested in this news, that's totally fine! There are many other things out there for us to enjoy or learn about. But I thought this was pretty cool myself! It’s a little slice of history with some comedy and nostalgia thrown in for good measure. And hey, it might remind you of something you like or spark your curiosity. So if you have time, give it a look! http://deadline.com/2025/0...
