NBC Launches Mobile App With 300 Hours Of ‘Saturday Night Live’ Video

This year marks the 40th birthday of Saturday Night Live, and NBC is celebrating the occasion by unlocking the sketch show’s storied archive. On a new mobile app, SNL fans can watch more than 300 hours of content from the show.

The 300+ hours of video span the entire 40-year history of the late-night program. According to Variety, there are more than 5,500 sketches available on the app–everything from “More Cowbell” to “Celebrity Jeopardy.” In order to hone in on particular clips, a central menu allows users to sort by specific seasons, cast members, or episodes.

The app also comes with some bonus features, such as a collection of emojis based on SNL.

For SNL fans who prefer browser-based laughs, the show’s archives are also open at Yahoo Screen, where they’ve been available since 2013. A separate 2013 deal brought SNL clips to international viewers through ZEFR.

The SNL app is currently available from the App Store. An Android version  will debut “soon.”
