 Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a weekly late-night ninety-minute live comedy-variety show which has been on NBC since 1975.
He was given studio 8H, which was built in the 1930s for performances by Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra.
When the first show aired on October 11, 1975, with George Carlin as its host, it was called NBC's Saturday Night, because ABC featured a program at the same time titled "Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell." When the ABC program went off the air, the NBC program changed its name to Saturday Night Live.

Saturday Night would appear to contain the necessary elements for a solid comedy.
Saturday Night is presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) with Dolby 2.0 Surround audio.

SATURDAY NIGHT, it's surprising how entertaining it often manages to be.
The film has a feel for period details and does, to its credit, explore one facet of Young's life in depth: his relationship with his long-suffering brother, who never developed the drive and aggressiveness that propelled Buddy to the top--well, the middle at least.
Annie, the only woman in the film with a personality, is somewhat more believable (Helen Hunt does the most she can with the part), but we're a bit surprised she'd spend so much time helping this belligerent old man, especially after their first hostile meeting.

 Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
Saturday Night" is the biography of now-aged Buddy and his brother Stan, told in alternating flashbacks and flashforwards, with nearly equal time given to the present.
In a clever bit, his appearance on the Ed Sullivan show is a catastrophe, since he follows the Beatles before a frenzied, hysterical audience of youths.
Saturday Night" too oversentimentalizes the actors and the showbiz profession.

 Mr. Saturday Night (1992)
Saturday Night tells the Buddy Young story, from early days telling jokes at family gatherings with his brother, to his later day lounge club circuit and retirement-home appearances.
Saturday Night, despite meandering about its story, manages to be reasonably engaging, and the frequent hops back in time to Buddy's early career serve to not only help illumine Buddy's character, but also to give the whole film a sad, nostalgic feel, quite appropriate to the theme of Buddy's failed career and flailing comeback attempt.
Saturday Night (and made his directorial debut), and it's rare to hear the viewpoint of the director, star, producer, and screenwriter all rolled into one.

 washingtonpost.com: Mr. 'Saturday Night'
On a recent Saturday night, Jack Nicholson dropped by 8-H just to hang around during the telecast and sit in Michaels's little booze-stocked cubbyhole beneath the bleachers.
Except for Fox's moderately successful, fitfully funny and younger-skewing "Mad TV," no one has ever come up with a formidable challenger to "Saturday Night Live." But someone conceivably could, the ratings could be an issue, and Michaels might have to get his saber out of its sheath to fight old battles all over again.
So we are back to the idea that "What's next?" tends to "ruin the present." And yet whether one speaks of past, present or future, Lorne Michaels seems to have things mastered, producing a near-perfect life, of which "Saturday Night Live" is only a part.

 DVD Verdict Review - Mr. Saturday Night
During Billy Crystal's early career of stand-up and Saturday Night Live, he impersonated and created a banquet hall full of unique and memorable characters, such as Sammy Davis, Fernando Lamas, Joe Franklin, and Buddy Young Junior.
From that night on, it's a meteoric rise to stardom, culminating in a prime-time network television show and a spot in the living rooms and funny bones of American families every Saturday night.
Saturday Night is hereby acquitted of any criminal charges and held up as a film we can all learn something from.

 Mr. 'Saturday Night' (washingtonpost.com)
On 24 Saturday nights a year, you will find Michaels in NBC's Studio 8-H producing, pacing and agonizing over "Saturday Night Live," which is arguably the most influential comedy program in TV history.
His mind has never let his body be sick enough on a Saturday night to miss a show.
Michaels and almost everyone who'd worked with him left, and five years of infamous failure followed -- one of those years redeemed by the returning Ebersol and a cast that included such big names as Billy Crystal and Martin Short (plus Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Larry David, who'd both later work on "Seinfeld" in the '90s).

 dOc DVD Review: Mr. Saturday Night (1992)
It's Buddy as Jake La Motta, the brother who is in the arena, the self-destructive Young; and Stan as Joey, the manager, the apologist, the one to smooth things over when his brother and his temper ruffle too many feathers.
Saturday Night—it's essentially a character study, but the character being studied remains largely opaque.
Saturday Night is a feature film, not a memoir, and so it's fair game to say that some of it, while true to life, just doesn't work dramatically as well as it might.

 Thomas P.M. Barnett :: Weblog: Mr. Saturday Night Taped   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
I prefer having both showings on Saturday rather than having the second on Sunday afternoon, which was the plan until very recently, because I don’t think anyone is watching on Labor Day Sunday afternoon.
Anyway, the way I look at it, it’s like CSPAN has given me their entire prime-time and late-night Saturday night lineup, and no matter how you slice it, almost six hours on cable delivered nationally is a good thing.
My only fear is how well the CSPAN cameras were able to track both me and the slides, but when I talked to the head camera guy after the presentation, he seemed very happy with the capture, so I’ll just have to hope for the best.

Norrell, has the cleverness and lightness of touch of the Harry Potter series, but is less a fairy tale of good versus evil than a fantastic comedy of manners, complete with elaborate false footnotes, occasional period spellings, and a dense, lively mythology teeming beneath the narrative.
If it still doesn't, try skimming footnotes, skimming pages, dipping in now and then to keep up on plot and catch one of those well-crafted lines, then come in for a landing and try again word by word.
What we have here is a subtle literary pistache I think - a highly imaginative comedy of manners perhaps, certainly well researched and full of ideas that draw from the deep well of English literary tradition.
