Saturday Night Live’s attempt to do an episode with the cast at home earlier this month, an experiment forced by the no-end-in-sight nature of the coronavirus pandemic, was reasonably successful. Tom Hanks was there, that Zoom sketch was really funny, and it gave everyone a chance to try out some weird solo gags and mini sketches that would’ve been completely different with a more traditional format. This week, seeing as how there aren’t any big cross-network concert specials going on (or if there are, they need to advertise better), SNL has decided to do what SNL does best: Try the same thing again and hope it’s similarly successful.
