Quick Smiles:
- Half a century ago a single Saturday night planted seeds that would blossom into one of television’s most beloved traditions.
- Studio 8H still buzzes with the same hopeful energy that first welcomed audiences on October 11, 1975.
- Generations of performers trace their biggest breaks to that very debut, proving dreams really can debut live.
Fifty-one years ago today, Saturday Night Live premiered on NBC with George Carlin as host.
The seminal comedy television program in American history, SNL has launched the careers of dozens of talented writers, comics, and actors.
Broadcast from Studio 8H at NBC’s headquarters in the Comcast Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, SNL has aired 1,011 original episodes and counting.
