SNL Archives | Episodes

With over 700 episodes produced, Saturday Night Live is still one of the few places on television where viewers can enjoy a perfect mixture of sketch comedy and musical performances. Considering how popular the show has become, it's no wonder SNL welcomes major celebrities and diverse musical acts year after year.

Each episode has its own page in The Archives. In addition to listing all guests, it provides a sketch-by-sketch summary of the episode, with role information on all individuals appearing in each sketch. Names of cast members, recurring characters, impressions, and recurring sketches link to their corresponding pages.

Names of non-cast individuals are color-coded as follows:

Hosts

Musical Guests

Special Guests

Cameos

Filmed Cameos

Titles of Live Segments appear in white, while Filmed Segments appear in gray.

Move your mouse pointer over Info... to reveal interesting facts and trivia about particular sketches.
