A UK version of Saturday Night Live (SNL), a show which has been a staple of American channel NBC since its launch in 1975, will air in 2026, broadcaster-to-be Sky says.
The show, which has helped to propel the careers of big-name comedy forces like Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, and Norm Macdonald, will “bring an all-British version of the show to UK audiences next year – all live from London on Saturday night!”, CEO of Sky Studios Cecile Frot-Coutaz said.
But fans don’t feel that the UK adaptation will be quite up to the iconic standard of the venerated American original.
“I hope it feels distinctively British, as a lot of SNL humour doesn’t translate,” TV critic Scott Bryan said.
“Also, as Richard Osman pointed out on Rest is Ents lately, locking in a cast for a while is hard as they will get offers elsewhere.”
