Saturday Night with Hopper Stone
Manage episode 447530474 series 2809177
In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to sit down with Hopper Stone, the unit still photographer from the iconic movie Saturday Night, to talk about those frantic, caffeine-fueled final 90 minutes before the very first broadcast of Saturday Night Live.
Picture it: October 11, 1975, 11:30 p.m. The world was about to meet a fearless cast of comedians and writers who would change TV forever. But what was it really like behind the scenes? Hopper gives us the scoop on the chaos, the creativity, and maybe even the questionable snacks in those final moments before showtime.
We also dive into Hopper’s fascinating career as a still photographer, from capturing Hollywood magic to his earlier days dodging bullets (literally!) as a photojournalist in war-torn Bosnia.
So grab your backstage pass and join us for an insightful, funny, and occasionally jaw-dropping look at the world of filmmaking—from the unique perspective of the unit still photographer. You won’t want to miss it!
