NBC re-airing Saturday Night Live’s first ever episode tonight, February 15

Laraine Newman, Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, Michael O'Donoghue and George Coe on Saturday Night Live.

Ever wish you could have watched Saturday Night Live’s first episode when it hit the airwaves at 11:30 pm on October 11, 1975, witnessing the start of what has became one of the best TV shows of all time? Well, unless you were alive then or barring time travel, the closest you’ll probably ever get is with NBC re-airing SNL’s first episode on Saturday, February 15, at 11:30 pm ET/PT.

As part of SNL’s 50th anniversary celebration taking place this weekend, viewers will be able to watch Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman and Gilda Radner appear on the Studio 8H stage for the first time, with host George Carlin, musical guests Billy Preston and Janice Ian, and special appearances by Andy Kaufman and some Jim Henson muppets (not Kermit or Big Bird).
