Every day will be Saturday night at Yahoo! beginning in September.

Yahoo! and NBC have finalized a deal to make the "SNL" archives from 1975 to 2013 available exclusively on Yahoo.com beginning Sept. 1, the website announced Wednesday.

The archived material will include show clips from all seasons, select musical performances, and behind-the-scenes and dress rehearsal clips.



"We are thrilled to give Yahoo! users the most comprehensive collection of SNL content available on the web, and make Yahoo! a home for current season clips, as well as clips from the entire 38-season archive," Yahoo! president and CEO Marissa Mayer said in a statement.

The "SNL" hub on Yahoo! will join a slate of original comedy programming from the site, including the web series "Burning Love" and the upcoming "The Fuzz".

Most Comprehensive means every one but the one you want.
