Dan Aykroyd Praises ‘Saturday Night’ As A “Standalone Masterpiece”
Noting that he "was there that night," 'Saturday Night Live' alum Dan Aykroyd praised the film 'Saturday Night' about the show's first broadcast.
After seeing the Jason Reitman-helmed film about the 90 minutes before the first Saturday Night Live broadcast in 1975, OG cast member Dan Aykroyd took to social media with a rave review on Friday, which also marked the 49th anniversary of the NBC sketch comedy show’s debut. Saturday Night takes place on October 11, 1975, as a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers change television forever. Co-writer and director Reitman previously told Deadline that Aykroyd was the “ hardest to cast,” but Dylan O’Brien “saved” the film with his portrayal.
