Looking forward to seeing it! I hope they do a better job of roasting the US than the OG SNL has been capable of.

I’d rather they just pretend the US doesn’t exist. It’s SNL UK there is plenty of content from that part of the world to leverage for the lulz

Agree. US politics are not really funny at this point.

Aggressive_Chuck Mar 18, 2026 +8
We already have about fifteen comedy panel shows, what would an SNL UK bring to the table?
8
MBBIBM Mar 18, 2026 +8
Sketch comedy, which is different than a panel show. That’s like saying what does a medical drama bring to the table when we’ve already got 15 news programs.
8
HYThrowaway1980 Mar 19, 2026 +2
Why SNL though? That brings a **lot** of baggage, and it’s not as though the British market needs to leverage an existing brand to crack it open for sketch comedy (practically invented it with the Footlights and Oxford Revue 150 years ago, ffs)

ILoveRegenHealth Mar 19, 2026 +1
It's Lorne's production company. Maybe he wants to give it a try before he retires (there is an SNL Korea after all). How is trying out 6 episodes and testing the waters a bad thing? If it flops, it will go away. If it surprises and manages to be a hit, then it continues. You're making it sound like some risky life-and-death tightrope walk.

If it's a 15-minute show, you're good. Try filling 90 minutes a week for 50 years. Even HIGNFY takes 30 weeks off every year.

zomboscott Mar 18, 2026 -15
After Hillary lost toTrump, SNL looked as sad as someone having to put their cat down. The unironic impersonation of Hillary singing Hallelujah completely lost the script. Dark humor would have been called for but that was macabre.
-15
DarkSkyz Mar 18, 2026 +3
As a person not from the US and who thinks SNL is shite, they had one of their funniest skits ever after Hilary Clinton lost mocking stereotypical middle class liberal New Yorkers with Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock.

swolleninthecolon Mar 19, 2026 -1
What comedy do you like out of interest? I enjoyed this, and its worth saying a lot of the cast are very well regarded on the uk comedy scene.
-1
ILoveRegenHealth Mar 19, 2026 +1
That user is whining elsewhere and saying they shouldn't even try making this. Just ignore that clown. To say something is "not really my bag, not really funny to me" is one thing. To say "It should NOT EXIST" just makes him sound like an arrogant d*****.

ishka_uisce Mar 18, 2026 -4
What? I really enjoyed that. Though I will say none of the people there are renowned for being hilarious. More theatre kid energy.

swolleninthecolon Mar 19, 2026 -4
Do you know many of the people there? Lots of them big on the comedy scene in the uk, having shows up at Edinburgh fringe etc. lots of them very good, arguably renowned for being hilarious Youre talking like an expert but i feel you dont actually know much about the cast

I'd love to see the Brits make SNL funny but this looks utterly dire. Sky One has the worst comedy production. Might have had a hope w/Channel 4.
21
Keanu990321 Mar 18, 2026 +6
Sky is owned by Comcast, owner of NBC. Don't think this one could be produced elsewhere.
6
impossiblefan Mar 18, 2026 +3
I get what you mean. But Sky hasn't had a breakout show in years (that wasn't actually just an HBO show) cause no one watches Sky. If a deal was struck with one BBC/ITV/Channel 4 then maybe it'd get more eyeballs on it. Viewership is the issue, not the quality of the show.

It will have some hits and some misses. Just like the us version.

This. Sadly people will have less patience for a show that's not been around 50 years though.
6
Comrade_Falcon Mar 18, 2026 +3
And people will latch on to either one or the other to fit the narrative they want. Only show and discuss the hits: "British humour is just so much better than American humor" points to SNL US misses. Only show and discuss the misses: "I knew this was a terrible idea from the start. There was no point to making a UK SNL!"

SloanHarper Mar 17, 2026 -36
I was about to write that I've never found the US version funny at all but actually Andy Samberg and Amy Poehler had some pretty funny sketches
-36
Danominator Mar 17, 2026 +6
They have had some really great ones the last few years honestly. The 50th was great too
6
AshTheDead1te Mar 17, 2026 +9
In the 50 years of SNL you have only found “some” sketches funny by only two cast members….are you sure you know what’s funny?
9
SloanHarper Mar 17, 2026 -6
Maybe because I'm not American and don't get all the humor and also have only seen a maybe 1% of the show 😅 I'm fine if other people find it funny
-6
AshTheDead1te Mar 17, 2026 +7
Well shit when you put it that way, yes not being American definitely doesn’t help with getting a lot of the humor, and only seeing 1% of all the skits basically means you haven’t watched any skits lol.
7
Danominator Mar 17, 2026 +6
Lol for real. Why does that person even have an opinion on it they feel the need to share
6
USCanuck Mar 17, 2026 +3
Zero episodes in the history of the show are perfect from start to finish. But if you're not watching, you are missing some funny stuff.
3
ThoughtIknewyouthen Mar 17, 2026 +38
The US version has never been 100% funny. Even looking back now on samurai character or Cheeseburger or "2 wild and crazy guys" like, OK. It's a sketch show. Content creation is a numbers game.
38
Redeem123 Mar 17, 2026 +22
I dare anyone who claims “SNL USED TO BE FUNNY!” to go watch the original episode. It’s *atrocious*. Granted, some of it is just because it was a different time. The format and content were relatively subversive for the time, so it doesn’t translate to modern viewing. And obviously the cast were all comedic geniuses.  But the show is still full of duds. Even Carlin’s standup is weak compared to his typical sets. And people think SNL is repetitive now, but wait til they find out they did Coneheads like 14 times in 2 years. 
22
ThoughtIknewyouthen Mar 18, 2026 +6
I will admit my favourite era was 2008-ish (Fred Armisen · Will Forte · Bill Hader · Darrell Hammond · Seth Meyers · Amy Poehler · Kristen Wiig · Jason Sudeikis · Kenen Thompson · Maya Rudolph · Andy Samberg) as they seemed to just let them cook. Very very smart comedians. The Falconer "Time Travel" may be one of my all-time favourite sketch comedy bits, not just SNL. ETA Colonel Angus is something I will watch whenever I feel like laughing out loud.

How_did_the_dog_get Mar 18, 2026 +2
That's the thing right. It's been going so long there is bad and good. And really bad and really good. I think the Gilbert Gottfried era was regarded to be the worst. Thing is UK has done UK SNL about 6 times. And none have stuck
2
faultysynapse Mar 18, 2026 +1
It's funny, I've really never seen the coneheads sketch on SNL. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie when I was a kid though. I can't imagine it would have been the best of sketches though.

userhwon Mar 18, 2026 +1
Carlin totally bombed that night.  But we were kids and ate it up and it started to click.

Wazula23 Mar 17, 2026 +14
Yep. The really amazing thing about SNL is how consistent it is. Which is to say, literally every era, even all the "golden age" stuff, is 25 percent hilarious, 40 percent funny, and the rest is hit and miss. Always been, Always will be.
14
severalcircles Mar 18, 2026 +1
Wait its 25% hit, 40% hit, and 35% hit or miss?

SloanHarper Mar 17, 2026
Honestly 😅 I'm not American so I've only seen clips online or when a specific celeb was on it so those numbers would be even lower for me - the latest I watch was the Connor Storie one and I just... Didn't get it
0
Wazula23 Mar 17, 2026 +10
I'm not gonna lie, yes, you do have to sift through a decent amount of c*** with SNL. But it's basically the biggest American School of Comedy. Which means a lot of it is weird, experimental, or filler they threw together at the last second to accommodate a change. Sometimes its pure gold, by accident or otherwise. But it remains a place where comedy talent can test out new, weird shit on a massive stage and that's kind of cool.
10
SloanHarper Mar 17, 2026 +2
Honestly when you explain it like that I understand why American love it so much and why it's stayed on the air for so long and it's making me worry that the uk will not be able to embrace that fully
2
Wazula23 Mar 17, 2026 +4
As a huge fan of UK panel shows, yeah, it'll be interesting. I think it all depends on the cast. If it's a good crew willing to take risks, it'll do alright.

thestereo300 Mar 18, 2026 +1
While I agree with your general premise....it does feel a lot less weird in the last 5-10 years.

Obviously you haven’t seen the Meatball sketch. Weirdest shit I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched SNL for 25+ years. That was 4 years ago.

Less weird, how? They read off cue cards now which was never a thing in the Will Forte era

ThoughtIknewyouthen Mar 17, 2026 +1
It's like marmite, you kinda had to grow up with it perhaps.
1
thestereo300 Mar 18, 2026 -1
I've been a fan of the show almost since the beginning. I liked the early 80s, the late 80s/early 90s, and my favorite era of like 2008-2013. Other than that it has been relatively mid for me. In recent years the only person who really stood out was Kate McKinnon.
-1
IntoTheMusic Mar 17, 2026 +3
The talent through the years is really what has carried and sustained the show. Funny/talented people elevate the material. :)

pleasedtoheatyou Mar 18, 2026 +4
When I commented a lot of the highest upvoted comments were positive. That was relatively early by UK time. Across the course of the UK day (American early hours) the comments have largely shifted more negative. Not necessarily causation , but certainly an interesting correlation.

ThatWriterJon Mar 18, 2026 +1
They released the list of writers and I'm pretty sure most are British. Depends if they're given license to actually write for their audience instead of imitating the US version

adamislaam Mar 18, 2026 +2
Shame it’s on Sky. This would be perfect for channel 4
2
occono Mar 18, 2026 +2
It's not actually the first UK SNL, it ran for multiple series on Channel 4 once. I think after 2 they moved it to Fridays and renamed it but it was still the same show really.
2
Giorggio361 Mar 18, 2026 +6
Really struggling to see how this is going to be good. Tina Fey is a bad choice for a first guest. She’s not particularly well-known in the UK but is obviously a big SNL name, which will detract from the actual performers who are making their debut. I like some of the comedians involved but nobody in that clip looked comfortable doing sketch comedy. Their acting skills aren’t great. The line reading was wooden. I don’t really know what the audience is for this. Current affairs satire in the UK is handled by panel shows. Sketch shows tend to be much more polished. To like this you need to be a fan of both sub genres and also happy to watch something likely lower quality. That’s a niche audience. Even on the off-chance it’s actually good, it’s on Sky 1 starting at 10pm. Late night TV has never really struck me as a “thing” in the UK. 10pm is time for the news or a film. Sky 1 isn’t really a channel with a defined “style” either - if this were on channel 4 it might attract some sort of crowd. I’d be surprised if this got a second series. I’m assuming they’re banking hard on a couple of clips picking up steam on social media but if this first offering is anything to go by, I’m not holding my breath.

I was hoping for better. It just seems to be American humour with British accents. How uninspired.

You specifically said American actors with British Accents. You specifically said they weren't British
-15
cametosayno Mar 18, 2026 +16
Your comprehension isn’t very good. I said American HUMOUR, not actors. British humour is vastly superior to American humour.

I should have just stopped at saying they are literally British. But I'm tired

Where funny? It's a promo for a comedy show with zero comedy. I suppose if you like jokes about f****** and the Epstein files this might be right up your street. Lots for the chin strokers I guess. SNL isn't funny however the trope of it was funny 10 years ago is easily explained. There have at certain times been incredibly talented comedians and writers on that show and it's at those certain times there were funny sketches but they were very few and far between. Even if this is funny which I doubt it's doomed to fail before it's started because it's on a low ratings subscription service channel.

ConsequenceLive2442 Mar 18, 2026 +2

While that's true, the UK is much more willing to watch the original show compared to the US and the remakes tended to be badly made copies. Now this might flop but it's still original material.

If you mean watch the Original US ones, I doubt you'll find many people who know what SNL is here.

I meant for shows in general, like the US wouldn't just pop a UK show into a main s***, like we have with US ones, I would say many haven't watched the original, although it has a prime spot now but plenty have heard of it.

It's behind a paywall channel that garners a tiny portion of the UK viewing audience, like single figures percentage wise. Saturday night TV in the UK traditionally is about light variety shows and football. This starts at 10pm and ends at 11:15pm, but ITV will be showing the Jonathan Ross show (not as popular as Graham Norton but still big) and on BBC One at 10:30pm is Match Of The Day. If Sky/Comcast manage to buy ITV they could put it on ITV1 and it would probably do really well but that's probably some way off.

Given SNL's history, she should have just brought out a giant bag of cocaine. But I guess they couldn't get away with that.

I have no idea why they chose to start with Tina Fey, I reckon most Brits have literally no idea who she is. 30 Rock wasn't really watched here, and neither is the US SNL.

So the US rights to this show are owned by the Peacock Network (NBC online), but they're airing it a day after its aired live.  WHAT THE F*** Just stream it live worldwide, you morons. This isn't 1974.  F***.

However big 30 Rock was, it ended 13 (thirteen) years ago. It doesn’t stand a chance if Tina Fey is the biggest star they can get for the opening episode.

Is she from the UK or does the UK not have a big enough star to kick it off?

They’ve got Jamie Dornan and Riz Ahmed after her, she’s there to pass the torch on from the originals

The two most recent SNL hosts weren’t American. Many aren’t. Truly a dumb take.

I think the stakes are a little different for the **first** episode of a British version of an American show.

I'm pretty sure nobody in the UK cares about it

The problem is nobody cares about Sky TV beyond sports. They've had a bunch of shows like Buzzcocks, League of Their Own, Rob v Romesh, even Mock the Week has been revived, and I've never heard anyone talk about them. It'd get much more traction on Channel 4.

Mock the Week is actually on TLC, it's actually still good.

TheLordLeto Mar 18, 2026 +1
Yeah I suspect they're all pretty good, but I don't think it does them any favours being stuck on Sky. I'll wait for Dave to get them all in a few years.

Entfly Mar 18, 2026 +1
They're not on sky though? TLC is a freeview channel, they're also on their YouTube channel for free

Great promo. And great premiere host. And the answer to the question, how can I watch it in America? > https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69b9c8aa03f88191b2c68b05afdf8b06

Why post an AI link and not just say it airs the next day on Peacock in the US?

So much hatred for someone who was just trying to help. Thanks for tearing me down for doing nothing that hurt you and making assumptions about me and AI.

You realize that company just signed a contract to use their AI to help make weapons for the fascist government of the US right?

Because someone will inevitably ask "isn't there another way to see it". It answers everyone's questions in one shot. And I didn't realize there were so many AI haters here.

How did you leap from “why not just copy paste the information to save people a click” to “people hate AI”? Isn’t a more reasonable conclusion that people hate anyone that comments “I have the information, click this link to go get it because I don’t want to copy the text”?

Some people are AI haters. Most people just hate that you were lazy about it. I mean, why bother commenting? Karma?
