Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman These are iconic comedians who are part of the foundation of Saturday Night Live. As the film Saturday Night gives us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes drama before the shows first episode, it somehow dismisses their contributions, and reduces them to fodder for their male counterparts. The men, including Chevy Chase (Cory Michael Smith), Dan Aykroyd (Dylan OBrien), Garrett Morris (Lamorne Morris), and John Belushi (Matt Wood), each get their own moments to shine, and key scenes to highlight both the idiosyncrasies of the characters, and the Saturday Night actors performances in these roles. Unfortunately, the females do not have the same opportunities.
