List of Saturday Night Live episodes

Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a late-night sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels. It premiered on the NBC Television Network on October 11, 1975, under the title NBC's Saturday Night. The show often satirizes contemporary American popular culture and politics. Saturday Night Live features a two-tiered cast: the repertory members, also known as the "Not Ready for Prime-Time Players," and newer cast members, known as "Featured Players." Each week, the show features a host, often a well-known celebrity, who delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast. A musical guest is also invited to perform several sets (usually two, occasionally more). Every so often a host or musical guest fills both roles. With the exception of season 7 and several other rare cases, the show begins with a cold open that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"

Saturday Night Live is one of the longest-running network programs in American television history, with more than 800 episodes broadcast over five decades. A number of the show's sketches have been developed into feature films, including The Blues Brothers, Wayne's World, A Night at the Roxbury, Superstar, Coneheads, and MacGruber.

Seasons 1 through 5 are available on DVD in Region 1. Various Saturday Night Live sketches are available in several new media formats, including streaming on Hulu and Netflix. A number of sketches are available to view via the show's official YouTube channel, along with best-of compilations for sale through digital video retailers.

Saturday Night Live at Home

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all episodes of the show were cancelled effective March 16. The cancellation preempted three previously announced episodes: March 28, April 4, and April 11.[181] The March 28 and April 4 episodes were replaced by reruns. John Krasinski and Dua Lipa had previously been announced as host and musical guest for the cancelled March 28 episode. It would have been Krasinski's first time hosting the show and Lipa's second time appearing as musical guest. Both Krasinski and Lipa's appearances were eventually rescheduled in the following season. During the 46th season, Lipa appeared as musical guest in episode 9, and Krasinski hosted the show in episode 11.

During an episode of The Strokes' radio series with guest Colin Jost, it was revealed that the band was scheduled to perform on the April 11th episode, in promotion of their new album The New Abnormal. It would have been The Strokes' fourth appearance as musical guest and first time appearing on the show since 2011.[182] The band eventually had their fourth musical guest appearance during the October 31, 2020 episode of the 46th season. During her monologue on the October 17, 2020 episode, Issa Rae suggested that her hosting of the show had been preempted by the COVID shutdown, saying that she was supposed to have hosted the show "back in March".[183]

Notes

  1. While some sources independent to the show have listed Brad Pitt as the host for this episode, the show did not officially announce a host during the opening sequence. On its website, the show lists "The cast of SNL" in the title that is normally reserved for the host.[186]
  2. Morgan Wallen's scheduled appearance as the musical guest was cancelled the week of the episode after videos surfaced showing him violating the show's COVID-19 protocols on mask wearing and social distancing.[189] White was announced as a replacement the day before the broadcast.[190] Wallen was later rescheduled for the December 5 episode.
  3. The episode was broadcast as planned in spite of an employee at 30 Rockefeller Plaza having tested positive for COVID-19 on air day.[191]
  4. Chappelle is hosting the first episode immediately following the presidential election. He also hosted the first episode immediately following the 2016 presidential election.
  5. The episode was delayed due to a Clemson vs. Notre Dame college football game that went into double overtime.
