NBC Proclaims "Saturday Night Live" Documentary is Hilariously Late, Just Like Its Host In an unprecedented twist of fate, NBC has announced that a highly anticipated documentary about the making of "Saturday Night Live" is hitting screens just five decades too late. Titled “Saturday Night: A Retrospective of That Time We Almost Ruined Comedy,” the network is attempting to revive public interest in a show that has supposedly been around since dinosaurs co-hosted. Sources close to the production confirm that the documentary explores the chaotic debut of “SNL” and its wild cast, notably featuring Lorne Michaels frantically trying to whip up comedy gold from the depths of early ’70s absurdity. In an attempt to illustrate the crazy pre-show dynamics, the documentary offers behind-the-scenes footage of Michaels negotiating with network executives who were actually alive during the time. "People need to know we nearly canceled the show before it even started," stated Michaels in a recent interview—clearly still haunted by the ghosts of bad sketches past. "We were juggling network pressure and a cast that didn't even know what a sketch was. I mean, how do you even prepare for this job? It’s like trying to teach a cat to fetch." In a shocking twist, however, this documentary is being compared to surviving a family reunion. Viewers are advised to prepare for cringe-worthy moments—much like when Aunt Linda reveals last year's Thanksgiving mishap. With a staggering runtime of 90 minutes, fans will reportedly be able to relive the intense pressure of creating an iconic show while also questioning their taste in humor. The 1975 premiere was characterized by hastily constructed sets, wild improvisation, and costumes that might have been borrowed from a thrift shop's clearance section. It was chaos in its purest form—the kind of chaos that only a group of slightly confused comedians could produce while high on ambition and maybe something else. “With the first episode, we truly believed we were creating something meaningful,” said co-founder and cast member, whose name escapes all memory but whose existence is felt in every awkward moment on stage. “Everyone thought we were going to be cancelled by Christmas, yet here we are, 50 years later, still wading through the remnants of questionable sketches and even more questionable hairstyles.” Critics weighed in with similar sentiments: “Why did it take them 50 years to make this documentary?” said one industry expert. “The real question is: how has America endured so many spinning chairs and pregnant pauses in prime time? That’s the story we should be focused on.” As the documentary takes its long, winding journey through the chaos of launching a late-night legend, one thing remains crystal clear—it’s not just a look back; it’s a reminder that laughter sometimes requires a healthy dose of sheer panic and confusion. So, gather your snacks, grab a safety blanket, and prepare for a documentary that may very well have missed its deadline—just like the generation of comedians it seeks to celebrate.
