Posted February 4Feb 4 The #1 question is: will this translate on this side of the pond?2nd question: who will be the first slew of hosts & musical guests this season?
February 4Feb 4 If it was on one of the main channels it might have a chance but buried on Sky it's bound to flop.
February 4Feb 4 Yeah can’t imagine Sky will have a high reach. I’m not convinced this is going to translate as well as the US version but glad it will at least provide a much-needed platform for British performers. JADE better get booked! 👀

February 5Feb 5 I think they're just hoping that a clip will go viral or something. I doubt they're expecting the viewership of the actual programme to be up to much.
February 5Feb 5 It definitely won't be anywhere as big as the main SNL in the states. It'll flop, and eventually be cancelled.
March 16Mar 16 So this is happening this week, 10pm on Saturday.They've just said on This Morning that Tina Fey has been lined up to host this week
March 16Mar 16 Should be interesting!I wonder if there will be a music guest or if they just haven't announced them yet?

March 21Mar 21 Reminder that this is tonight! I shall try and watch live, it's had some great media coverage this week.
March 21Mar 21 Okay this was brilliant. George and Jack were absolutely hilarious, looking forward to more from them. Great start, hoping the momentum will last.
March 21Mar 21 It unfortunately didn't work for me like it does with the American version. Not that I watch a lot of it but still. I'll give it another go next week.
March 21Mar 21 50/50 for me. Really liked some, but a couple dragged (really disliked the movie interview sketch). Will definitely watch next week though
March 21Mar 21 The host was very meh. Musical guest, Wet Leg just ain't for me so didn't care for that or the next two musical guests they have coming up. (Why they have three Rock bands back to back? Like variety where?) Liked 2 sketches but that was it. Barely laughed. Little disappointed.
