What Is Saturday Night Live About?

Saturday Night Live (also known as SNL) is a late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast, with featured performances by a musical guest.
