Detroit’s NBC affiliate WDIV-TV, which didn’t air SNL‘s premiere 50 years ago (or the the rest of of the show’s first two seasons), cut off last night’s anniversary special over-run before Paul McCartney’s performance.

What’s the scene like in and around Studio 8H right now? Probably something like former NBC exec Frank Radice captured with his home video camera when he attended SNL25:

If you didn’t catch the re-airing last night, you can now watch the entire Oct 11 1975 premiere episode of what was then-called NBC’s Saturday Night on YouTube.

As Charlotte Klein writes, Tina Fey couldn’t resist chiming in after aging media luminaries like Graydon Carter replied all to Susan Morrison’s emailed book event invite, inviting further responses from the likes of Colin Jost, Jon Hamm, and others.

One enterprising fan took home the perfect souvenir from last night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers (context here).
