00:00Hey, free comedy show, plenty of seats, plenty of tickets left guys, free show, fuck'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 Ayicka, 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?

00:54Fuck around, Lorne, you haven't locked the script, your crew is in open rebellion.

00:59Fuck you, fuck you, I definitely fuck 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 me how you fit into this ensemble.

01:13Oh, is this an ensemble?

01:16NBC makes more money playing runes 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've never made anything.

01:31Do you ever stop and wonder why they said yes?

01:33A counter-culture show starring total unknowns with zero narrative and even less structure.

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.
