Mr. Saturday Night is a 1992 American comedy-drama film that marked the directorial debut of its star, Billy Crystal.

Stand-up comedian Buddy Young Jr. became a television star with the help of his brother and manager, Stan, but alienated many of those closest to him once his career began to fade.

The older Buddy continues his career as a comic in the primarily Jewish resorts of the Catskills, where he meets his future wife, Elaine.

A chance at redemption comes when a young agent named Annie Wells finds him work and even gets Buddy a shot at a role in a top director's new film.

Eventually Buddy realizes how he has hurt his family and mends the relationships by giving money Stan gave him from their mother's estate to his daughter Susan and beginning to play shows at retirement homes.

The show ends with his brother giving him a painting he made of the two of them as children in their parents living room where they used to entertain the family on Shabbat.

Comedians Jerry Lewis, Carl Ballantine, Slappy White, and Jackie Gayle appear in the New York Friars' Club scene.

Crystal, Ganz, and Mandel penned the book, reuniting the original screenplay team, and featured a score with music by Jason Robert Brown and lyrics by Amanda Green.

The Broadway cast also featured Randy Graff as Elaine, Shoshana Bean as Susan, and Chasten Harmon as Annie.
