Saturday Night Live Goes Hi-Def

NBC's Saturday Night Live was an unknown quantity in TV back on October 11, 1975, when George Carlin hosted the first episode. However, the show soon became a ground breaking series highlighting outrageous comedy, political satire, and high-profile musical guests. Beginning this week, on October 1, 2005, Saturday Night Live begins its 31st season with incorporation of a new dimension, High Definition. Guest Host, Steve Carrell (The Office, 40-Year Old Virgin), kicks off the new season in HD. For additional details, check out the announcement from NBC/Universal. If you have been putting off the purchase of an HDTV, Saturday Night Live in Hi-Def is another great reason to finally make the jump.
