Yes! Every single episode since the show first aired in 1975 will hit Peacock on October 1. Given how many seasons the comedy show has been on the air, that amounts to 889 episodes for people to be able to watch. This is a huge jump in inventory over current streaming stores of the show (only the most recent five seasons are currently on Peacock) and represents a whole bunch of on-the-couch-time for me, watching episodes of SNL I’ve probably never seen before. After all, while I’m well versed in the classic eras (Gilda, anyone? Chevy Chase? The Landsharks, Van Down by the River, all of the recent alien abduction skits, etc?) but that doesn’t mean that I’ve seen every single episode that Gilda is in. Anyway, it’s a fun trip down memory lane, and it’s about 889 trips down memory lane. Watch how comedy has evolved —and really, how it hasn’t — over 45 years of weekly shows. Saturday Night Live’s 45 seasons will begin streaming on Peacock on October 1.
