Herbert Schlosser, a longtime NBC executive who oversaw the development of Saturday Night Live, has died at his home in Manhattan. He was 95.

Schlosser’s wife Judith confirmed his death to The New York Times on Friday.

Born in New Jersey in 1926 and educated at Princeton University and Yale Law School, Schlosser began his career working on television projects in the field of corporate law in New York.

He joined the business affairs department of NBC Television Network in 1960, where he negotiated numerous programming contracts including an agreement for Johnny Carson to host The Tonight Show. Schlosser climbed the executive ranks to become president of the television network, followed by the president of the company in 1974.
