Saturday Night Live has launched the careers of Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell among many others in its 50-year run on NBC in the US.
It’s now coming to the UK with Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan and Riz Ahmed hosting the first shows.
As in the US, there’s an ensemble cast of comedy players – so how important could SNL UK be for the comedy scene?
Niall speaks to the creator and host of the Saturday Night Network podcast, Jon Schneider, about what makes SNL so successful and asks comedian Rosie Holt what difference British comedians will make to it.
