Saturday Night Live es un show televisivo nocturno estadounidense, emitido en vivo, que revolucionó la televisión en los años 70 con su combinación de sketches, comedia, variedad, actores, músicos, e invitados especiales. Ha sido una cantera generadora de talentos muy fuerte de varios guinistas, actores, escritores, productores y cantantes. Creado por Lorne Michaels y desarrollado por Dick Ebersol, el programa fue estrenado por la cadena de televisión NBC. Durante más de 30 años, el programa ha presentado personajes locos, situaciones humorísticamente extrañas, parodias de los presidentes y políticos de turno, sarcásticas burlas a celebridades contemporáneas de la música y del cine, y shows musicales en vivo. Su reparto se compone de miembros repertorios, también conocidos como The Not Ready for Prime-Time Players (el nombre del reparto original del programa, que viene a significar «La Compañía No Apta para las Horas de Máxima Audiencia»), y nuevos miembros quienes se conocen como The Featured Players («La Compañía Destacada»).
