It's about to premiere, this Saturday. Lorne Michaels finally got involved and properly franchised the brand (and didn't just license the name).

I wish he got more credit for The Fall. He was great in it and it was a great show overall! I’ve never cared to watch 50 Shades, but if that’s all I knew about the guy, I would not care about him hosting UK SNL whatsoever.

The creation of a British version of SNL is quite fascinating. This guy will host the 2nd episode, Tina Fey is scheduled to host this weekend for the premiere of the British spin-off with a new cast - show also created by Lorne Michaels it would seem

Wonder if this has arisen due to the uncertainty surrounding the ridiculous political landscape in the US

Maybe this is why:

The certainty of your statements appears entirely unjustified, but I guess that's how the US works now right? No justification needed, just do whatever you want that you can get away with.
