If you didn’t feel that the montages of the SNL 40th Anniversary were in-depth enough about the history of Saturday Night Live, this should probably do the trick.
Bao Nguyen’s documentary Live From New York! will go throughout the timeline of SNL looking at the show’s inception, Lorne Michaels’ course at the helm, and the effect that it has had on American and global discourse in politics, pop culture, etc.
It’s set to play at the Tribeca Film Festival, but, for those of us not in attendance, we’ll have to chew on this trailer for awhile.
