WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event history
This is the third run of “Saturday Night’s Main Event” events. The series launched as a late-night replacement on NBC for the weeks that “Saturday Night Live” did not air new episodes. The original run consisted of 29 episodes for NBC between 1985 and 1991, and two more episodes on FOX in 1992.
WWE and NBC also revived the series for five episodes that aired between 2006 and 2008.
