Factual error: George Carlin is played in the movie by Matthew Rhys. They went as far as to recreate with him, on a prop, the cover of "An Evening With Wally Londo Featuring Bill Slaszo", the album that Carlin pitched at the end of the original episode and that Rhys brings on stage in this movie at dress rehearsal. However, in this cover, Rhys is looking to his upper left, Carlin looked to the upper right. With such attention to detail, it's easy to imagine it could be deliberate. (00:43:00)
Saturday Night (2024)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Jason Reitman
Starring: Willem Dafoe, J.K. Simmons, Kaia Gerber
Continuity mistake: When a frustrated Lorne Michaels starts tearing apart the overcrowded board with too many sketches, in the first shot he claws out the lower half of the leftmost column, below "Commercial #1." In the next shot, though, the board is still fully stocked with post-it notes, and he tears them down in a different order. (01:13:30)
Billy Crystal: Yep, we're fucked.
