What happens

Saturday Night is a 2010 documentary film directed by James Franco. The film examines the production process of the NBC late-night live television sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live. Shot over a period of six days from December 1–6, 2008, the film was originally a school assignment for Franco at New York University. The film premiered at the 2010 South by Southwest Film Festival on March 14, 2010, and then was shelved for several years due to legal matters regarding its distributor and NBC. It was released on September 26, 2014 on Hulu. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
