The U.K. might be getting its very own version of Saturday Night Live. According to Deadline, SNL reps are working on a deal with British broadcaster Sky, which, like NBC, is owned by Comcast.
Reportedly the new series wouldn’t have the same 11:30 p.m. starting time as the American original, but presumably would still air on Saturday nights. Last year, Sky started airing full-length episodes of SNL on its Sky Comedy channel. Before then, Brits had to rely on YouTube clips to get their Pete Davidson fix. There’s no word yet on who producers are eyeing to join the new version of the show.
