Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell

Show Summary

Aired: 1975 - 1975
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

This short-lived talk show launched while the "Saturday Night Live" we know and love (or love to hate) was still in development. As a result, Lorne Michaels couldn't call his show "Saturday Night Live", even though that was the title he'd originally conceived for it. That's why the earliest episodes of "SNL" went out as "NBC's Saturday Night". After the Howard Cosell "SNL" bit the dust, Lorne was then free to give his own show the orignally conceived title.
