OT: 1st Saturday Night Live Tonight at 11:30 pm

The very first episode of NBC's Saturday Night (the Live part came later in time) is airing at 11:30 pm tonight, February 15. George Carlin was the host and the first musical guests were Billy Preston and Janis Ian. Air date: October 11, 1975.

Tonight from 8p-11p SNL will do a special on all the music that has been on since the start.

From faint memory I watched the first show I was not laughing. However, that changed within a month and a half. At Rutgers, the Rusty Screw Pub cleared out at 11:30 pm on Saturday nights when students went to the closest TV set to catch the show... it was that popular.

Sunday there will be a three hour 50th anniversary special broadcast starting at 8pm.
SNL on Saturday's at 11:30 was a given in the 70's.
