The chemistry between them is something special and we can't wait to share this funny group of people with the world." Sky's Executive Director of Unscripted Originals, Phil Edgar-Jones OBE added: "We all need a laugh like never before, so we're beyond excited to bring Saturday Night Live to the UK, only 50 short years after it first launched in the U.S. The show's long-standing legacy of discovering and nurturing outstanding comedy talent speaks for itself, and this UK version will build on that legacy with the support of Lorne Michaels (U.S. show producer), a brilliant local production team, and an exciting new generation of voices. Saturday nights are looking bright!" SNL has been a staple of US TV since 1975, keeping fans entertained for over 50 years. Currently broadcasting on NBC, the show has launched the careers of many including Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Maya Rudolph, Seth Myers, Pete Davidson, Bowen Yang, and Andy Samberg.
