“Live From New York!,” a documentary about the NBC late night comedy sketch show “Saturday Night Live,” will have its world premiere and open the 14th Tribeca Film Festival in New York in April, organizers said on Thursday.
The film follows the early development of the Emmy-award winning show that began as an experiment by its creator Lorne Michaels 40 years ago and has been a launching pad for the careers of comedians Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Chris Rock, Bill Murray, Adam Sandler and many others.
