Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘Saturday Night’ will please SNL fans

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of October 12, 2024. Three separate and unique movies are highlighted this week, led by ”Saturday Night," a movie about the lead-up to the first episode of Saturday Night Live nearly 50 years ago, which fans of SNL will enjoy. Next is a non-Church-produced movie, "Six Days In August," which is about the succession of Brigham Young as leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after the death of Joseph Smith. Andy even has a deep dive  “Movie Show Extra” episode with the writer/director of this movie, as well as multiple actors from the film. Finally, one of the most unique documentaries he has ever seen is "Piece By Piece," the story of musician Pharrell Williams...told completely in LEGO animation!  It's inventive, creative, imaginative, and one of Andy's Top 5  animated movies of the year.
