“Live from Moscow--It’s Saturday Night!” No, this is no spoof on the late-night show, but a real possibility, according to executive producer Lorne Michaels. NBC’s satirical show, which opens its 13th season Oct. 17, could broadcast from the Soviet Union later in the season if negotiations succeed. Michaels minimized possible Soviet censorship, saying, “I don’t think censorship matters if the audience doesn’t understand the language you’re performing in.”
