Saturday Night
"Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell" is consistently confused with the sketch comedy program "Saturday Night Live". In October 1975, rival network NBC began airing the late night comedy show "NBC's Saturday Night", the creation of producer Lorne Michaels. The shows did not compete for the same time slot. Cosell's "Saturday Night Live" aired at 8 p.m. ET/PT, whereas "NBC's Saturday Night" aired at 11:30 p.m. After Cosell's show was cancelled, the NBC show was renamed "Saturday Night Live".
