Saturday Night dramatizes in real time the chaotic 90 minutes leading up to the first -ever broadcast of Saturday Night Live in 1975 .

The 37-year-old actor spent hundreds of hours studying Chevy Chase's filmography and world.

Saturday Night director Jason Reitman calls Smith a "tremendous actor and took on a really hard role".

The Chevy in this film is far closer to me than the Chevy that everyone knows and loves.

The show ended up being so impactful and empowering to me because I really got a voice.

It was Gotham and being part of this big ensemble that really helped me understand, "This is how you come in and change the weather of this moment".

Kevin Coulson is a character that lives very deeply inside of me, he says.

He says he can sometimes get really emotional thinking about the bravery of Varian Fry in the Netflix limited series Transatlantic.

"I really just sat in that car by myself almost all day for three days , except to eat".
