In 1980, Michaels left the series to explore other opportunities. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, ' Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!', properly beginning the show. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast, with featured performances by a musical guest. The show's comedy sketches, which often parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members.

The show premiere was hosted by George Carlin on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night (this was due to rival ABC having a show similarily titled ' Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell', a short lived comedy sketch show).

Saturday Night Live (also known as SNL) is an American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol.
