I saw a 40th anniversary title card for Saturday Night Live on the Hulu website today, and I couldn't figure out which condensed (or compressed) industrial typeface it is. It's not quite Knockout from Hoefler & Co. or Helvetica Ultra Compressed. The telltale letters are "S," "A," "R," and "G."

Could be Helvetica Ultra Compressed...

Closest I could find was Fusion Sans by Parachute, but like Knockout and Helvetica Ultra Compressed, it’s not quite right:
