From the moment Morgan Neville was approached about making a documentary tied to the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live," he knew that he didn't want to capture this comedy staple in a traditional way.

The four-part docuseries, Peacock said, will feature legendary cast members and alumni including Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers and more.

To mark the 50th season of “Saturday Night Live,” putting together 90 minutes of live TV in six days - already a herculean feat - is not enough. In addition, the venerable variety show is flooding the zone with shows of its pop cultural might.

On Jan. 25, “Timothée Chalamet will return for his third time hosting ‘SNL’ and first time as musical guest. Chalamet has received SAG, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award nominations for his performance as Bob Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown,’ now in theaters.” What is fuboTV?

Wild and crazy guys, the van down by the river, and, of course, more cowbell – just some of the classic sketches shown in the new trailer released today for Peacock‘s four-part docuseries SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night.
