As a movie buff with a deep appreciation for the history of Saturday Night Live, I can only imagine how it feels to see my own turbulent moments from the show’s early days being recreated for all to see. Having been there during the series premiere, the memories of the 90 minutes leading up to that iconic first sketch are etched deeply into my mind.
Watching yourself reenact what might have been one of your most nerve-wracking career experiences, especially since it was the debut episode of Saturday Night Live, must feel quite discombobulating. As we approach summer, expect a wave of nostalgia for SNL as it marks its 50th season. Coinciding with this milestone is the release of Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night, which takes you back to the live show’s tense pre-production phase and brings it to life on the big screen. As they reflect on a new generation of actors revisiting their pre-debut jitters from half a century ago, one wonders how the original SNL cast feels about this revival. Is it a humorous memory they can chuckle at, or does hearing “30 Rock” still give them chills? Here’s what the original cast has had to say about the film so far.
Dan Aykroyd
Laraine Newman
Chevy Chase
In the movie, Cory Michael Smith, who takes on the role of Chase, told People magazine that Chase has watched the film, but didn’t reveal his thoughts about Cory’s portrayal. He added, “I can only hope he saw a younger version of himself, whether that was a pleasant or not-so-pleasant experience. But this individual significantly influenced my desire to perform and appreciate movies, so it was a privilege to play him.
