Here's How The Cast Of "Saturday Night," The New SNL Biopic, Compares To The Actual Stars They Play

by · BuzzFeed

In case you haven't heard yet, the new Saturday Night Live biopic revolves around the first-ever SNL episode, Oct. 11, 1975, and all the frenzy that surrounded that day. It's about to be a biopic for the ages, and has an all-star cast.

By the way, coming from someone who has seen the movie already, let me tell you, the story is wild.

So, because the actors in the movie play real SNL stars who were actually on the show when it first aired, we thought we'd do a little comparison to see just how spot-on the casting was (and to do a little learning on who the key players are). Here we go:
