09 What is SNL?

SNL is Saturday Night Live. It is a comedy/music
television show on the NBC television network. It
is usually broadcast on Saturday nights at 11:30pm
ET. The show was originally called NBC's Saturday
Night because there was a show on ABC starring Howard
Cosell at the same time called Saturday Night Live.
The producers later gained permission to rename the
show. The "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" moniker
also came from ABC's Saturday Night Live actors who
called themselves the "Prime Time Players".
