Television history was made on Saturday, October 11, 1975, at 11:30pm (ET), when Chevy Chase welcomed        
 America to the first episode of a new late-night comedy series. With its cutting edge satire and cast of young,     
 talented performers,  Saturday Night Live  set a new standard for television comedy while launching the careers of  
 such comedy greats as John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Will Ferrell,  
 Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey.  Saturday Night Live FAQ  is the first book to offer the show's generations of fans

 mid-1970s by Lorne Michaels and the Not Ready for Prime Time Players,  SNL FAQ  takes you through the show's
