*Saturday Night Live* has long been a pillar of American humor, acting as a launching pad for numerous A-list careers. But what truly transpires behind the scenes of this legendary program?

A new four-part documentary, *SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night*, delves into the intricate workings of *SNL*. Featuring discussions with comedy icons like Larry David, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, and others, the series examines everything from the rigorous audition process and memorable sketches to the frequently unrecognized efforts of the show’s writers.

One notable moment from the trailer? Amy Poehler nervously revisiting her own audition tape—a sentimental and anxiety-filled look back at her path.

*SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night* will be available for streaming on Peacock beginning January 16.
