LOS ANGELES — “Saturday Night Live” will be back on the air this weekend with a show that abides by social distancing rules. The material will be produced remotely, the network said, in compliance with efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Part of the pandemic’s fallout was a shutdown of movie and TV production that included “Saturday Night Live.” Its last original episode aired March 7.
Notice how many people on these SNLAtHome posts are echoing the same line: “Isn’t America suffering enough?” 100% are people whose profiles suggest that they might be offended that SNL criticized their Dear Leader.
SNL is still on? I haven’t watched network tv in years.
Love you he show from China
probably better off if you didn't, nbc.
This is awesome, and a small piece of normalcy, even if just on TV. Thanks nbcsnl!
No one noticed this democrat propaganda shit was missing.
Nooo! This was one of the few good things about the coronavirus was that it got SNL canceled. Everything is bad right now
Were they gone? They haven’t been ‘funny’ in a while
Baligubadle1 This is the most welcomed sign of some semblance of a return to normalcy thus far.
Wow. I don’t know how this going to work.
👐👍❤
💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
wow cant wait
This is must see TV!
I was waiting for this. I knew they could pull it off and it will be hilarious.
wtf is snail
If you want to want something funny, JoeBiden is holding virtual town halls. Listening to him talk is sad and funny all at the same time
Thanks 4 the warning. I put a block on NBC, via remote control
frankdugan I ❤ me some nbcsnl
I just hope it's funny for the full hr.... .....
Um, OK? Any other news to report? GlobalPandemic
As long as they keep making fun of the orange god king fat fk I'll tune in.
Thank God! We need someone to make us laugh right now!
Just run the 70s shows. You know, when it was funny?
Is that to compete with CNN?
No brains, no character, seems like perfect type casting to me. Someone has the number, call him LIVE?
They think we need comedy sketches during hard times, maybe many people do, so I’m not gonna knock it but I never watched after they had Trump on in 2016 election cycle dancing to hotline bling.
alright...welcome back SNL
We need an entire show with just Bernie Sanders, Larry David and Dr. Fauci just sitting and kibitzing!! 3 nbcsnl SenSanders CovidRelief
Meanwhile 12 million + are out of work. Very cool!
i dont wanna watch that at all
*ratings distancing
That should be good!
Welcome back SNL...the Students of BMB have been back broadcasting for four weeks already. What took you so long ;)
So
I'll pass!
GabriellaWest Dear DavidSpade Nice going David. Invite the David from MWC DavidFaustino re: TastefulLindaTripp I took a look at an alleged murderer from Minnesota built to kill like Bagdadi. We need Linda Tripps? I had a Tripp in my State Bar Case complaining against me. Badges Wigs lox
Trump meltdown in 3,2,1...
WOOHOO!! CAN'T WAIT SNL nbcsnl
Let me know when MadTV is back.
That could be really funny
HelenKennedy Um, this isn’t newsworthy.
Baligubadle1 YES.!!!!!!!
We need a good laugh!!!👍🏻
Isn't America suffering enough?
Awww, good on them.
Yes, the entire cast will stay six feet away from a joke.
No thanks, snl
Mmm seems like a bad plan in NYC. Unless it's synchronized cams. I have never been happier to be a resident of CA.
I’ll be ready to laugh right after I get done burying all my relatives COVIDー19
Be good little proles and maintain six feet of separation!
🤮 lame as comedy at its finest.
I would consider these ladies & gentlemen as essential workers.
If America has to make sacrifices then I think we can do without SNL.
I don't understand why people take the time to reply with negativity. Why be so shitty? Especially now? Let people enjoy things. If you don't like SNL (or whatever moral injustice like a TV show you're bitching about right now), then don't tune in. Go be useful/helpful.
The 14 boomers that still watch it are going to be very excited.
A zoom show can be great, even better with participants from their homes.
Who?
ChatsMcGee
No need SNL
Meh.
Uh no thank you. Trash
No one has given af since the 90s
Dont bother
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse
Why?
Aren’t things bad enough already?
And China conceived
Coming soon SATURDAY NIGHT DEAD
Now THIS will be fun! Can't wait!
How about just having Hillary (the trader)stand a lone and say nothing while we all laugh. 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 now that’s funny. Just ask Epstein, oh wait a minute, he hung him self with hands tied 😂😎😂🤣🤣someone is waiting for her
“Comedy” is a bit of a stretch...
No thanks, hasn't been funny in years!
Hasn't been funny in years
The show is unwatchable. The funny left years ago.
Let me guess: Alec Baldwin as Trump
Saturday night hasn't been back for decades.
Very curious as to how they will pull this off. Definitely a lot of content to work off of, and expect a bunch of cameos.
I will be remotely not watching it.
Nice. Laughter is good exercise has the lungs
Since nbc decided to shove Joe Biden n Kate McKinnon on me, I am out. That Chi guy is funny tho.
Didn't miss it at all, hasn't been funny since the 70's.
That sounds awful.
New peeps ? No. Same old ones. Oh.
YAY!!!!!!!
And I predict an all-time rating low for such a famous show.
Lemme know when Phil Hartman is back.
Didn't know it was gone.... 🤣
Maybe they will be funny now with some time to write actual material on their hands!
No thanks.
Still won't watch that trash!
Weird but OK
