Episode description

At 11:30pm on October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television – and culture – forever. Directed by Jason Reitman, written by Gil Kenan & Reitman and told in real time, SATURDAY NIGHT is based on the true story of what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live.

Actor Dylan O'Brien is one of the film's stars, portraying the legendary cast member Dan Aykroyd. He joins me for an insightful, entertaining chat about the film, the casting process, his approach to the performance, and his upcoming projects.
