Live from New York, it's Saturday Night! "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" is a famous phrase typically featured on the American sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live", which runs on the NBC broadcast network. It is generally used as a way to end a cold opening sketch and lead into the opening titles/montage and cast introductions for the program.
