Live (maybe) from New York (maybe), it’s Saturday Night!

This weekend, Saturday Night Live will return with new content, which will air in its usual 11:30 p.m. timeslot on NBC.

The material will all be produced remotely, as the production practices social distancing, according to the network.

The episode will include a Weekend Update segment, as well as other original content featuring SNL cast members. It is unclear whether any segments will be actually performed live, or if all the content will be pretaped.
