Dan Aykroyd was the only original SNL cast member who read the script.
In the movie, Milton Berle tells Lorne Michaels he looks forward to hosting the show someday. Berle hosted in Season 4, but at the time Michaels considered it the worst episode they had done, and held it out of syndication.
Early in the film, a box of "Colon Blow" is seen on a backstage desk. This is a reference to a later SNL commercial for "Colon Blow Cereal" featuring Phil Hartman (Season 15, 1989).
On October 11th, 1975, Lorne Michaels was just a month from turning 31. During filming, actor Gabriel LaBelle was 21.
A very inside joke: An obnoxious stagehand tells art director Leo "Akira" Yoshimura that he'll be gone in two weeks. As of the movie's opening, he is very likely the only person who has been with the show for the entirety of its run.
