“We’re thrilled to unveil the first officially licensed Saturday Night Bobblehead Collection to celebrate National Bobblehead Day as the iconic show closes in on its 1,000th episode!” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “Famous for its hilarious sketches and memorable characters, SNL has provided late-night comedic relief for generations. These bobbleheads will be must-haves for longtime fans of SNL and many of the iconic sketches that we’ve turned into bobblehead form.”
SNL Still Matters
Broadcast on NBC as “Live from New York” since Oct. 11, 1975, “Saturday Night Live” was created by Lorne Michaels, who serves as executive producer and showrunner. The show’s sketch comedy often parodies contemporary American culture and politics, anchored by a rotating cast of performers.
Each episode typically features a celebrity host who delivers the opening monologue and appears in sketches with the cast, plus a musical guest. Comedian George Carlin served as the show’s first host, back when it was known as “NBC’s Saturday Night.”
Widely considered an American late-night institution, “Saturday Night Live” has been nominated for 305 Emmy Awards and won 82. Produced in Studio 8H at NBC headquarters in the Comcast Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the series has aired nearly 1,000 episodes since its debut, making it one of the longest-running network programs in television history.
The show celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025 with a large-scale celebration. In 2000, it was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. It was ranked 10th in TV Guide’s “50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time” in 2002 and was listed as one of Time’s “100 Best TV Shows of All Time” in 2007. Over the years, SNL has also spun some of its most popular sketches into feature-length films with mixed results.
