Part of the beauty of Saturday Night Live is the fact that a live show comes to life, only for it to be scrapped in time for next week's sets.

Unless you're luck enough to nab tickets to the weekend's biggest late night show, it's unlikely you've witnessed what goes down while commercials are rolling.This two-minute time lapse from SNL gives us a quick look at what goes on over the course of one Saturday night in Studio 8H.

The video shows Anna Kendrick's April 5 episode from start to finish. Watch audience members take their seats and enjoy the warm-up comedian before the crew rolls in sets and the lights go down for showtime. It's certainly the fastest way to experience late-night TV production at its best.
