Classic SNL

From Saturday Night Live Wiki

From Fall 1998 to December 2006, early morning airings of SNL appeared in the 1am time slot immediately following the live episode in most NBC affiliates (and in many areas 1:30am or later.) The airings at this time were the only way that viewers and long time fans saw episodes in their original rarely seen 90 minute format. The Classic SNL episodes were taken from broadcasts between October 1975 and December 2001.

In January 2007, Classic SNL was discontinued. It was replaced in its timeslot by Poker after Dark.

[edit] SNL on E!

One hour of classic episodes (some sketches are cut) can be seen on the channel E! at various times throughout the week. Saturday would be an exception for this because it currently has a permanent 10:00pm time slot which ends 30 minutes before the live broadcast on NBC.
