The first few weeks of Saturday Night Like UK have been hosted by Jamie Dornan, Riz Ahmed, and Jack Whitehall. So far, Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, Kasabian, and Jorja Smith have performed as musical guests on the show.
So, I’ve been watching SNL UK, and they’ve got a really solid cast now! It’s great seeing Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, and Emma Sidi regularly on the show. Plus, Ania Magliano and Paddy Young are killing it with the Weekend Update – they’re hilarious!
Jonno Johnson is the head writer for the show, and comedian Bella Hull will be the announcer, similar to Darrell Hammond who has announced for Saturday Night Live since 2014.
Early reactions to the UK version have been varied. In a review for The Guardian, the show was praised for its bold attempt to adapt a classic American brand for a British audience, with the reviewer hoping it will continue to improve and find lasting success.
According to the Financial Times, the show’s sketches were generally amusing and frequently original. They also noted that the show surprisingly didn’t seem overly concerned with maintaining a specific brand image.
Saturday Night Live UK broadcasts live on Sky at 10pm and is also available on the NOW streaming service in the UK. US viewers can watch it on Peacock the next day.
