Let's Celebrate our Birthdays Together at a 40th Birthday Party Bash!

The 40th anniversary celebration continues. Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition will celebrate the airdate of the very first episode of the iconic TV show by throwing a birthday party for everyone born on October 11, 1975, the night that SNL first exploded into American pop culture. Everyone turning 40 on that date is invited to share their birthday with us at the exhibition and view the original first episode of SNL, hosted by George Carlin.

Those who can show a valid ID that their birthday is October 11, 1975 will receive one free ticket to Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition to explore the four decade evolution of the iconic comedy show. All those turning 40 will be celebrated by the exhibition and part of a group photo at 11:35 a.m. at the exhibit's recreation of the very first "home base" stage to commemorate the special occasion.

"We are so excited to be part of SNL's 40th anniversary and wanted to recognize the milestone in a unique way" said Mark Lach, Creative Director for Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition. "To be able share the celebration with others who actually turn 40 on that date is going to make this a very special event."

Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition at Premier Exhibitions 5th Avenue (417 5th Avenue, NYC) is an immersive, interactive retrospective about the 40 year history of the groundbreaking show. In addition to a recreation of the original "home base" set, the exhibition features iconic costumes, props and other one-of-a-kind artifacts.
