SNL this Saturday - Must See TV

SNL producer Lorne Michaels has announced that the show's original debut from October 11, 1975 will be reran in it's entirety this Saturday, live from Studio 8H. The replay is in tribute to George Carlin, who hosted that very first Saturday Night Live 33 years ago:

Said SNL creator and exec producer Lorne Michaels in a release today: "You never forget the people who were there at the beginning. George Carlin helped give 'Saturday Night Live' its start as our first host. He was gracious, fearless, and most important of all, funny."

The musical guests for the debut episode were Janis Ian and Billy Preston, with a special performance from Andy Kaufman. Carlin performed three monologues, and it was the debut of future stars like John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd and Gilda Radner. It also featured a short film by Albert Brooks; Five-Timers Club member Paul Simon announcing that he'd be hosting the next week; the Bees, which became the first-ever SNL recurring characters; and, oddly, The Muppets.
