Live from London, it’s Saturday night!
Wait, London? You heard that correctly. “Saturday Night Live” announced Thursday that it plans to launch a British version of the US sketch comedy show that is celebrating its 50th anniversary across the pond.
The UK version, produced with Sky Studios, will have a British cast of comedians — to be announced later — and follow the same format with famous guest hosts and star musical acts.
“SNL” creator Lorne Michaels will be the executive producer of “Saturday Night Live UK,” while staying in the same role with the show on NBC in New York.
