Graham Norton was an excellent bit

Hopefully they'll get other personalities hosting shows in the same building to cameo soon.

It’s funny that they laughed the least when she did a fake British accent

Yeah but those pants were meant to be half length

“A popular UK Icon like Shrek.” “Shrek is British?” “Scotland is part of the UK. Educate yourself.” This joke got me

amicablecardinal Mar 23, 2026 +32
That and the subsequent Canadian Commonwealth joke were a nice one-two punch.

What is this? An official SNL clip that *is* available in my country? Tina Fey is a comedy legend, so cool to have her be the first host

I didn't watch the show but thought that opening monologue was pretty good! Tina Fey was a great choice! I wish them luck but wonder if Sky was the best place for it to get a big audience

Quality_Controller Mar 22, 2026 +103
Not really much of a choice! SNL is an NBC show. NBC are owned by Comcast who also own Sky. Complete chain of content creation, broadcast and distribution all in the same ecosystem, means Comcast gets to recoup all the profits.

subservenicedream Mar 22, 2026 +151
Well Comcast owns Kabletown which obviously owns GE and Sheinhart wigs

planetalletron Mar 22, 2026 +50
No no, the Shienhardt Wig Corporation is at the top of the corporate chain. They own us all. Vertical Integortion.

>Complete chain of content creation, broadcast and distribution all in the same ecosystem, means Comcast gets to recoup all the profits. The positive way to look at this is that means the show has a longer runway to success. Since profits don't need to be split up between various entities, they can make a small profit and still be a good investment for the company.

BleakCountry Mar 23, 2026 +3
It's also important to note that they have pitched a UK version of SNL to the big UK channels like BBC, ITV and C4 more than once over time and none of them wanted to produce the show.

TIGHazard Mar 23, 2026
Not true, it did exist in the 80s, but it was never an "official" SNL franchise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Live_(British_TV_programme) > It was based on the American sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live but otherwise had no direct connection to the show. > The series made stars of Ben Elton and Harry Enfield, and featured appearances (in some cases first television appearances) by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, Patrick Marber, Morwenna Banks, Chris Barrie, Julian Clary, Emo Philips, Tracey Ullman, Craig Ferguson, Sam Kinison, Craig Charles, Josie Lawrence and many others.

Those were unaffiliated with SNL. Lorne Michaels has subsequently tried to get a UK version of the show up and running for a long time and supposedly all of the major UK broadcasters ultimately passed up on the opportunity until Sky negotiated a deal with Lorne and his production team to help launch UK SNL.

BoltMyBackToHappy Mar 22, 2026 +1
Vertical integration.

CBattles6 Mar 22, 2026 +12
I think the general consensus was that Sky is the only one who'd pay the production cost
12
Eastiseast3 Mar 22, 2026 +1
That's a shame

frodoisdead Mar 22, 2026 +5
Could be one where Sky are more concerned about getting views on clips across socials than actual viewership of the show.

Eastiseast3 Mar 22, 2026 +2
Yeah it's possible

She's great!! Also f*** YouTube for changing where the unmute button is.

F*** youtube for many things, they removed the ability to sort videos by upload date when you search something.

They sure do love to try and fix what isn't broken with that website, and *not* fix the things that are broken.

It's like those shitty shopping channels on tv 20 years ago that baby boomers with too much disposable income would watch and then buy random c*** by phone, or at least that was my general understanding.

wtf is SNL UK for that matter lol Edit: rhetorical question. To me it is like having “Monty Python New York” or “Miami Vice London” taking something so tied to one place and exporting it for no reason

having only ever seen Graham Norton in yt shorts of his talk show I have never seen him not in a suit before now.

crumble-bee Mar 22, 2026 +47
I’ve watched a few of the sketches - is this.. good? Attenborough last supper, making the internet bad and the opening call to Trump were all decent, retained the British energy I was worried would be lost and weren’t too long!

SaysUselessThings Mar 22, 2026 +40
The skin cream one was genius. "Will make you look so young everyone will think your husband is a nonce" had me f****** howling. Shakespeare going to london repeatedly and getting more "cunty" was a bit of a unique one, and the news bit about Andrew Mountbatten being found dead in a marsh was brutal. Overall I thought it was excellent, I went in with zero expectations but was quite surprised at how good it was.

SeriousButton6263 Mar 22, 2026 +6
“Is that a British thing?” “It’s a thing.” was such a great line

coreoYEAH Mar 23, 2026 +2
I laughed at every sketch for the entire show. I haven’t done that for the US version maybe ever.

Fun, I like the idea of SNL UK. If they ever have Stephen Fry or David Mitchell or Ross Noble or Lee Mack as a host, I would cream my pants.

Love Tina Fey and a good choice of host but gotta say would have really liked Graham Norton to do the hosting

Well done. I thought it was a good start. How was the actual show?

krectus Mar 22, 2026 +2
Actually being able to view this and not get fenced out already makes this better than USA SNL.

“Cunty” being said on SNL was also unexpected.

batsofburden Mar 22, 2026 +10
I wanted to like UK SNL, but it didn't really hit for me. Gonna keep watching for a few weeks since it usually takes a while for a new show to find its groove, but Idk.

Ash_Killem Mar 22, 2026 +14
US SNL barely hits these days.

StyrofoamCoffeeCup Mar 22, 2026 -5
that’s because you aren’t 16 years old. it’s for people that haven’t gone to university yet. lorne michaels acknowledged that and he’s right.

tfhermobwoayway Mar 22, 2026 -14
It basically defines American culture. Of course it still hits.

daiwilly Mar 22, 2026 -45
I'm not sure why we have made this show. It is culturally not us!

NoTitleChamp Mar 22, 2026 +28
Sketch shows aren't us? The history of UK television shows otherwise but alright.
28
daiwilly Mar 22, 2026 -19
I'm not sure why the US still does it...the show is so old fashioned and clings on by it's finger nails. Sketch shows were great about 20 years ago, but the UK rarely if ever did live group vibe comedy sketches like this...and I wish it had stayed like that.
-19
skilless Mar 22, 2026 -2
I'm hoping it's like the US version of The Office: the first few episodes didn't feel right, but it eventually became something all its own.

TheRealEpstein2019 Mar 22, 2026 -31
It's not for the UK it's more SNL for Americans mocking the UK.

cassian_eboudar Mar 22, 2026 +10
I don’t know, I feel like Americans wouldn’t have got things like the Autoglass Repair Autoglass Replace reference
10
Lord_Parbr Mar 22, 2026 +9
Autoglass has a sister company in the US called Safelite, which uses the same jingle, just with “Safelite” instead of “Autoglass”
9
Alternative-Iron-930 Mar 22, 2026 +4
It’s the same jingle but speedy glass in Canada!

Skippymabob Mar 23, 2026 +1
Same jingle across lots of countries, drove through Europe and basically every radio station had that jingle with "insert translation of Auto glass" lol
