Interviews with artists including Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Justin Timberlake are featured in an upcoming documentary celebrating the musical performances of Saturday Night Live.
The film, titled Ladies & Gentlemen … 50 Years of SNL Music, will premiere Jan. 27 on NBC and will be available to stream the next day on Peacock. It’s codirected by The Roots‘ Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson.
Other musicians interviewed include Olivia Rodrigo, Mick Jagger, Kacey Musgraves, Jack White, Bad Bunny and Dave Grohl. SNL cast members past and present will also be featured, including Jimmy Fallon, Bill Hader, Eddie Murphy, Andy Samberg, Kenan Thompson, Maya Rudolph, Bowen Yang and Jane Curtin.
“Everyone knows the most famous SNL appearances, whether it’s Elvis Costello, Prince or the Beastie Boys, but they’re the tip of a huge iceberg,” Questlove says in a statement. “The process of going back through the incredible archival footage was like being in a time machine, DeLorean or other. I’m so happy I went on the trip and now get to share it with everyone.”
