Why Was 'SNL' Originally Called 'Saturday Night'?
In its first two seasons, 'SNL' was known as NBC's 'Saturday Night.' This is because there was another 'Saturday Night Live' already on the air.
Live from New York, it's Saturday Night! Speaking of that iconic opening line, have you ever wondered why it's phrased that way? Why does it say just "Saturday Night" and not "Saturday Night Live?" Having two "lives" might be redundant, but isn't Saturday Night Live the name of the show? It is now, but that wasn't always the case.
