Of course, we're talking about the season finale of Sky and NOW's SNL UK Though it feels good to know the 12-show second season will kick off in September, there's that whole summer break to deal with But before that happens, we have host Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who, Sex Education) and musical guest Holly Humberstone[...]

With only two shows to go for the first season of SNL UK and the 51st season of SNL, we're down to two cold opens each before both shows shut down for the summer Thankfully, we can now rest assured that there will be more double doses of SNL this fall, with the UK edition[...]

The biggest news is that SNL UK will be back beginning this September for a 12-show second season (maybe more?)

Even as we inch closer to this weekend's edition of the recently renewed Saturday Night Live UK, with host Hannah Waddingham (Apple TV's Ted Lasso) and musical guest Myles Smith, viewers are still talking about SNL UK star George Fouracres and the "British Pork" sketch Shortly after it aired, Fouracres took to social media to[...]

From the opening show, we've found a whole lot to love about SNL UK Being on this side of the Atlantic, we will readily admit that there are quite a few UK-specific references along the way that get lost on us – at least, until we look them up The fact that we want to[...]

And then, when we heard that Ncuti Gatwa, aka the Fifteenth Doctor, would be hosting the season finale of SNL UK, it felt like all of the stars had aligned to make it a reality But leave it to SNL UK, following in the proud tradition of the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series[...]

After the drama that went down between The White Lotus star and how she was depicted in an SNL sketch that imagined what HBO's hit series would be like in Donald Trump's universe ("The White POTUS," which you can check out above), we were curious to see how the week would kick off with SNL[...]

After taking a well-deserved break last weekend, Sky and NOW's Saturday Night Live UK returned tonight with SNL UK host Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Big Mood) and musical guest Foo Fighters Of course, a new show means a new cold open – and if you were betting on George Fouracres's UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer being[...]

With Saturday Night Live UK returning to Sky and NOW screens tonight with SNL UK host Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Big Mood) and musical guest Foo Fighters, we've put together a preview/viewing guide to help set the mood First up, we recap what the week's been like leading up to tonight (with some new additions), followed[...]

With Sky and NOW's Saturday Night Live UK set to return this weekend, we've been getting some good vibes about what's in store from what we've seen from SNL UK host Nicola Coughlan this week For this go-around, Coughlan is joined by musical guest Foo Fighters and SNL UK star Jack Shep, who lets the band[...]

It might not be a "Five-Timers Club" jacket, but we're ready to give upcoming Saturday Night Live UK host Nicola Coughlan the award for having the best table read image we've seen by anyone hosting SNL UK or SNL Most of the time, the host is smiling while reading or looking off-camera – very simple, very standard[...]

To help kick off the return week, we've got an SNL UK Midweek Sketch that sees Coughlan taking a trip down memory lane – fondly embracing the studio's sights and sounds as if it were yesterday (instead of the four weeks since she was last there) You can understand why SNL UK stars Annabel Marlow[...]

Our concern was that SNL UK wouldn't be given a chance to succeed; that it would be quickly written off by the British press as an attempt by the US to tell the UK how to do sketch comedy Thankfully, the SNL UK team put that concern to rest with a run of shows that[...]

While taking a well-deserved one-week break, Sky and NOW's Saturday Night Live UK offered us a look at what the future holds when SNL UK returns On April 25th, Nicola Coughlan begins her journey to the "Five-Timers" Club as host, with the Foo Fighters as the musical guest Following that, on May 2nd, we have host[...]

Kicking off the Jack Whitehall-hosted effort (with musical guest Jorja Smith), this week's SNL UK saw Jack Shep, Al Nash, and Annabel Marlow play three friends enjoying some rare sun (even if the temperature doesn't match it) with a garden BBQ and some drinks To add some spark to the festivities, the three decide to[...]

That means that it's time for the SNL UK Midweek Sketch, which turns into a cue card lovefest between Whitehall and cast member Jack Shep (the reference at the end to Shep's Princess Diana impression was a nice touch) But what hit our radar was the little knife twist the sketch snuck in during the[...]

While we await who and what NBC's Saturday Night Live intends to target during its returning Cold Open later tonight, Sky and NOW's SNL UK kept its Cold Open focused on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, played once again by George Fouracres Between fears of war and economic downslides, the nation isn't doing well, and[...]
