“Saturday Night Live” was live from New York for the first time since coronavirus lockdowns began last spring. And the topical sketch show drew its biggest season premiere audience in four years while recapping the previous week’s particularly manic news cycle.
Here are four of the most buzzed-about moments from “Saturday Night Live’s” Season 46 premiere over the weekend.“SNL’s” cold open took on last Tuesday’s presidential debate, with the announcer noting, “Tuesday feels like 100 days ago.” The comedy star and former “SNL” cast member opened by referencing Trump’s COVID hospitalization and noting that he’s been tested for the virus so much this week, “I haven’t had so much stuff up my noise since I shared a dressing room with Chris Farley.”
The show treated the men and women who’ve been working on the front lines during the pandemic to the best seats in the house. “SNL” is the first live network TV show to bring back an in-studio audience during the pandemic. Everyone was tested for the virus beforehand, and they wore masks while sitting in the audience. Crew members wore masks, and the band was socially distanced, as well.
Duplicity1111 Surprise! Audiences are PAID all of the time. I worked for a company the hired audience fillers. But we only paid $75 a day.
You would have to up the salary for me to watch two woke idiots trying to be funny. Torturous 🤣
THE DEMOCRAT-MEDIA IS A CLOWN SHOW AT BEST.
