00:00Hey, free comedy show. Plenty of seats. Plenty of tickets left, guys. Free show.
00:07Fuck's sake.
00:12So, big night.
00:18Look, my name is Lorne Michaels, I'm the producer of Saturday Night.
00:20The whole night?
00:21Yeah, the whole night.
00:22Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Dan Ayik, uh, how the fuck do you pronounce this?
00:29Ackroyd.
00:32You know, I was thinking, why don't we punt?
00:35We should run the dress rehearsal and claw back a win next Saturday.
00:38We can't, Dick. It's a live show.
00:41We're just not ready.
00:42Doesn't matter that we're ready, it matters that it's 11.30. That's when we go on.
00:48Lorne, all I'm trying to do is give you advice.
00:51It's in everyone's best interest, mainly yours.
00:53Sorry, was that a threat?
00:54Look around, Lorne. You haven't locked the script. Your crew is in open rebellion.
00:59Fuck you, fuck you. I definitely fucked you.
01:02The writers on the 17th floor tied a belt around Big Bird's neck and hung him from my dressing room door.
01:11Tell him how to do it, Gilda!
01:12They'll tell him how you fit into this ensemble.
01:13Oh, is this an ensemble?
01:14It's not the job, it's your hour!
01:16NBC makes more money playing ruins of The Tonight Show.
01:19NBC is lucky to have something as relevant as this show.
01:23Lorne, they don't even want us.
01:24That's logical, Dick. That's why they're paying us all to be here.
01:26I mean, Lorne, 90 minutes of live television by a group of 20-year-olds who have never made anything.
01:31Do you ever stop and wonder why they said yes?
01:33A counterculture show starring total unknowns with zero narrative and even less structure.
01:39Fuck!
01:45They want you to fail.
01:48We just have to make it to air.
01:53Am I still in the show?
01:57Jesus Christ.
01:59Sorry, tripped over my penis.
02:17You
