SNL Studios (also known as "Saturday Night Live Studios") is an American production company founded in 1997 as a joint venture between Saturday Night Live creator and producer Lorne Michaels, NBC Studios, and, initially, Paramount Pictures. Paramount's part of the venture was dissolved in 2004 following NBC's merger with Universal Pictures to form NBCUniversal. SNL Studios currently produces Saturday Night Live in association with Broadway Video (also owned by Michaels), and in the past also produced movies, mainly featuring Saturday Night Live sketch characters: A Night at the Roxbury, Superstar and The Ladies Man.
