Gabriel LaBelle, Rachel Sennott, and Dylan O’Brien star as Lorne Michaels, Rosie Shuster, and Dan Aykroyd in Saturday Night. The movie will be released in select NY and LA theatres on September 27 and everywhere on October 11.

At 11:30pm on October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television – and culture – forever. Directed by Jason Reitman and written by Gil Kenan & Reitman, 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. Full of humor, chaos, and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, we count down the minutes in real time until we hear those famous words…

“I had a necklace, a Tiffany’s necklace that I would play with a lot,” Sennott shared, reflecting on which detail helped her embody her role. “Me and Danny were talking about it, where we were like, maybe she knows the jeweler at Tiffany’s. Like, she’s a classy girl, she’s a fun girl, but she’s, I don’t know, it made me feel hot. It made me feel like I know what I’m doing, it made me feel like a woman, there we go, you know what I mean? For a minute, it’s all been like, I’ve been like, ‘a girl dinner, girl lunch,’ you know? But I’m like, ‘You know what? I’m a woman now,’ and the necklace made me feel that way.”

“With Lorne, I think the hair was really easy to kind of sink into, to look in the mirror and like, it was thinned out on the top and receded a bit and totally straightened chemically,” LaBelle explained. “So that was really great to feel different when I looked in the mirror, but also, there’s an interview of him from Tom Snyder, and the cadence of his voice I would listen to many times a day, just kind of to help, I don’t know, sink into that pattern.”

“I had a mustache. It was crazy because I can grow a mustache, but they didn’t like — my growth pattern of my mustache didn’t match Dan’s as much. So I had to shave mine and glue this mustache to myself every day and it was the bane of my existence,” O’Brien joked. “It would just always peel up and fall off. I could never trust in a scene if it wasn’t going to — really, that’s not true. It wasn’t that bad, I’m being dramatic about it. It was just a really funny little friend for me.”

I spoke with the trio about which of their own projects they would want to offer audiences a peek behind the curtain of making, who they would want to portray them, and one small detail that helped them get into character.
