>The show will be produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio’s UK production team, as well as Lorne Michael’s Broadway Video. Michaels is exec producing, with James Longman serving as Lead Producer, Liz Clare as Director, and Daran Jonno Johnson taking on the role of Head Writer.
>In a statement this morning, lead producer Longman said, “The UK is absolutely packed with incredible comedy talent right now and this cast represents the freshest voices we have, they’re bold, exciting and of course, incredibly funny. The chemistry between them is something special and we can’t wait to share this funny group of people with the world.”>Added Sky’s Executive Director of Unscripted Originals, Phil Edgar-Jones OBE, “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 US. 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, a brilliant local production team, and an exciting new generation of voices. Saturday nights are looking bright!”
A little too late for this
Hammed Animashaun>Hometown: East London>Credits: Black Ops (BBC), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Bridge Theatre)>Comedy heroes: Lenny Henry, Gina Yashere, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?It’s the prestige of Saturday Night Live, to be part of something so popular and historic is a privilege. I don’t think there’s another show like it that’s been running as long. It would’ve been weird to have said no!>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy? I think of myself as an actor first and foremost. I’ve done a lot of theatre. That’s my first love so I feel very much at home on the stage and performing live. Transferring that experience over to live comedy is something I’m really excited for.
>>217778021we live in hell. I would rather cut off my penis with a rusty breadknife, to quote someone actually funny.
Ayoade Bamgboye >Hometown: London and Lagos >Credits: Swings and Roundabouts (Edinburgh Fringe), Rise and Shine with Channel 9 (Channel 4) >Comedy heroes: Julio Torres, Jamali Maddix, Patti Harrison, Kristen Wiig, Chris Morris and Zainab Johnson.>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?There’s no better training ground. I’m maybe three, four years into comedy, and it just feels like the perfect place to accelerate my learning. Having a steep learning curve like this gives me so much bandwidth to try many different things in a short space of time. >What’s your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I was in advertising, and I decided to quit my job and try comedy for a year. My journey in comedy since then has been such a series of blessings and serendipitous moments, it’s been a domino effect of doing lots of different comedy nights and meeting different comedians. I’ve felt so empowered watching them, it’s made me try lots of different things. I went to Edinburgh Fringe for the first time and won Best Newcomer, it snowballed from there and now I’m on Saturday Night Live.
Larry Dean>Hometown: Glasgow >Credits: The Royal Variety Performance 2024 (ITV), Live at the Apollo (BBC)>Comedy heroes: Richard Pryor, Jim Carrey>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?I just love sketch comedy. There have been so many people who have appeared on Saturday Night Live, either as hosts or part of the cast that are my comedy heroes like Jim Carrey, Richard Pryor, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey. It’s always been my dream to do acting and stand-up, so this is exactly what I want to be doing. >What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I did a couple of series of The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV), which was a bit different to the usual format as you’re miming other comedians’ stand-up routines. But my background is really in stand-up which I love, performing all over and releasing a few specials.
Celeste Dring>Hometown: Wolverhampton >Credits: Lazy Susan (BBC), This Country (BBC)>Comedy heroes: Kristen Wiig, Julia Davis, and everyone from Smack the Pony and Big Train.>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?It was a no-brainer really. I just love the idea of being creative with a group of brilliantly talented and funny people and the chance to do something new.>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I’d done a lot of more serious plays at uni but I was always a lover of comedy and decided to give it a crack after I left. Freya Parker and I started performing as a double act, Lazy Susan, going to Edinburgh Fringe and doing shows there. And from there we got our own radio show and eventually sketch comedy show on TV.
No one asked for this.
George Fouracres>Hometown: Willenhall, Wolverhampton>Credits: Hamlet (Shakespeare’s Globe), Steve (Netflix)>Comedy hero: Martin Short, Roberto Benigni, Steve Carrell>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?I’ve been in love with Saturday Night Live since forever. It was my dream job when I was younger because my favourite thing is playing lots of very intense, insane characters, and I love the glamour of late night live TV. Seeing clips of SNL in the US I always thought “I wish we had that. Why don’t we have something like that?” So the fact that we do now, and I get to be part of it, blows my tiny mind.>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?My career has mainly been performing at Shakespeare’s Globe in London where I’m an Associate Artist (last year I did my seventh show there), but I started in the industry acting and writing in a sketch group called Daphne with my friends Jason Forbes and Phil Wang. We gigged together for four years and wrote three Edinburgh Fringe shows and two series of a BBC Radio 4 show. In 2019 I did my first (and only!) solo stand-up show, Gentlemon. Most recently in the comedy world I performed in Flo & Joan’s award-winning show One Man Musical in the UK and Australia. These days I also occasionally co-host the podcast Budpod with my best friend Pierre Novellie.
Ania Magliano >Hometown: Buckinghamshire >Credits: Taskmaster (Channel 4), Live at the Apollo (BBC)>Comedy hero: Ross from Friends>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?I love performing stand-up, but the chance to work collaboratively with other amazing comedians was a huge draw for me. And honestly, being part of SNL UK is just incredibly cool. SNL is a major comedy institution that I never expected to be a part of, so the idea that I get to go live on Saturday nights is mad – I can’t wait.>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I did my first gig when I was 18, so it’s pretty surreal that it’s been nearly 10 years now. Since then, I’ve performed sold out tours, filmed a stand-up special, and taken shows to Edinburgh. It’s through stand-up that I really found my voice. I feel very lucky to have performed for audiences who genuinely want to see me, and I’m excited to bring that background into sketch comedy. Some of my favourite comedy moments are sketch so I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it!
Ania Magliano is a cutie, but I will never watch this
Annabel Marlow >Hometown: Henley- on-Thames>Credits: Six The Musical (Edinburgh Fringe), Muriel’s Wedding (Leicester Curve)>Comedy hero: Kristen Wiig>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?I’m a huge fan of the show, I actually have an old fan account from 2016 I used to run on social media that was dedicated to being obsessed with Saturday Night Live. SNL combines everything I love. I’m excited to create characters and hopefully write some music as well.>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I wrote and performed a one woman show at Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 called Is This Okay??, that was an hour of comedy songs and pop songs, with bits of stand-up. My background is stand-up and musical comedy, and all my acting jobs have been musical theatre.
Al Nash >Hometown: Buckinghamshire >Credits: Michael McIntyre’s Big Show (BBC), Instagram heartthrob >Comedy hero: John Candy >Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?I think it’s a really exciting opportunity for the UK comedy industry in general. For it to be a new sketch format in the UK, but also one of the biggest sketch comedy formats in the world, it’s got so much potential. As someone who is sketch comedy obsessed, I’m just so happy to be a part of the cast.>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I started the comedy society at the University of Sussex, which birthed a sketch group that I wrote and directed multiple Edinburgh Fringe shows for. I then started performing live myself in 2018, and have made online sketches since 2020.

Jack Shep>Hometown: Bedfordshire>Credits: Wanting To Be Cool, Having To Be Funny (Comedy Night), Big Boys (Channel 4)>Comedy heroes: Tim Robinson and Patti Harrison>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?It’s just a completely unique show. To make a finished show in a week and then start all over again the next week is amazing. Being able to be in a room full of comedians being stupid and funny like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I’d describe myself as a comic rather than a stand-up comedian. I do a bit of acting and writing too but basically, I’m always doing stupid shit which I think makes me primed for SNL.
>>217778056>Comedy heroes: Lenny Henry, Gina YashereI can tell from this alone this guy is as funny as genital warts.
Emma Sidi >Hometown: Woking >Credits: Starstruck (BBC), Alan Partridge Live: Stratagem (Amazon)>Comedy heroes: Maria Bamford, Victoria Wood, French & Saunders, the cast of Seinfeld>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?I love comedy and character comedy especially, and I think there isn’t that much character comedy on TV in the UK right now. My favourite comedies to watch growing up were French & Saunders,The Fast Show, Reeves and Mortimer, all those pioneering shows from the alt comedy scene. Saturday Night Live is a huge opportunity to get that kind of comedy back on TV and online.>What’s your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I’ve been doing sketch, character comedy and improv since university. There’s nothing like the thrill that comes from live comedy, and it’s where I have met my best friends. I’ve found that I’ve specialised in character comedy, and have done the Edinburgh Fringe multiple times, and toured the UK, Melbourne and New York. I loved touring my recent show, Emma Sidi Is Sue Gray, in which I played the former civil servant Sue Gray – because someone had to do it. That show was a real manifesto of my taste. A bit left-field and very cheeky.
Paddy Young>Hometown: Scarborough>Credits: Everyone Else Burns (Channel 4) Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping (Channel 4)>Comedy hero: Vic & Bob, Norm Macdonald, Viz>Why did you want to be part of the SNL UK cast?It feels like the most exciting thing that’s happened in comedy in this country for a long time, even more than Reels. The scale of it is quackers: 11 in the cast, 18 writers, and the catering is world class.>What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy?I was very lucky because Scarborough had an amazing theatre – the Stephen Joseph Theatre – which I practically grew up in. I was completely obsessed with comedy but had no idea how to do it. By the time I went to drama school in Manchester I found myself constantly sneaking away to watch stand-up, though it took me a long time to actually do it.
I don't even care about how bad the cast is, nobody wants this.

>>217778021>theatre grads, Shakespeare, written to-taped camera comedy..No one with improv training. No one with sketch troop background. No one with standup experience. This is going to land hard and fail fast. Literally how a bunch of uk entertainment execs would build a show (and why so much of their comedy fails, while DIY Uk comedians succeed). The whole reason why SNL works (even when it often fails) is because the cast has the basic same foundations, they understand the language of sketch (commit, yes and, the harold, etc), and well as grinding though hundreds of live performances or standup clubs to hit main stage and know how to adjust to audiences and each other. An SNL sketch will change dramatically from table read to dress to live. There’s bits that die in dress, but the head/writer/performer believes in it and understands, and tweak it to kill. None of this talent has that. It’s not something that can be taught, learned, gels after a half dozens shows or a season. You have to come in ready.

Live in the UK, haven't heard of any of these people, not one.
UK sketch comedy used to be pretty good in the 90/00s era, then so much comedy died off, panel shows got neutered and all we got left was the most awful shit imaginable. One of these new SNL guys worked on that latest Mitchell and Webb show which was painfully unfunny.
>>217782190>elect 'diversity is our strength' tories>funding for the arts disappears and media turns to shitHe would've saved us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-ToGVwO8Q4
>>217782190>>217782442>elect 'diversity is our strength' toriesThe Tories just copied the New Labour playbook, it's how they came to power. (And one of the men who wrote the New Labour playbook, Peter Mandelson, is connected to Epstein and passed state secrets to him.)Comedy in the UK died when Frankie Boyle left Mock the Week. Hearing a Newsnight presenter repeat Frankie's joke about the Queen's pussy being haunted was peak. Frankie was a good comedian, and a bit shocking for normies, but his true skill is he made everyone around him try harder. Even the Russell Howards were funnier when playing off Frankie.Post Frankie Boyle the show suddenly stops being a survival of the fittest comedy stand up show and becomes a lovey woke BBC panel. You always need at least one women, even if she's painfully unfunny. You need white neurotic straight cut liberal/left guys who all probably went to private school. You need the same endlessly array of Romesh/Nish/Romesh/Nish Asian comedians. And most of these people do a silly voice or a silly face and have nothing to say.And that's exactly what this cast looks like.
>>217782542>The Tories just copied the New Labour playbookThey actually just got incredibly luck that the financial crash happened when it did.>Post Frankie Boyle the show suddenly stops being a survival of the fittest comedy stand up showAgreed. There's so many lady comedians that complained about how brutal Mock The Week was because it's 90 minutes of banter/abuse whittled down to a 30 minute show.Making it safer made people more reliant on just reciting their pre-written material.
>>217778056>hammed animation
>>217782804>They actually just got incredibly luck that the financial crash happened when it did.No doubt that was the main factor in the election but if you look at the Tories they did radically change their party towards the New Labour playbook. Fuck the Conservative party introduced gay marriage. People back then even spoke of how they were the true inheritors of New Labour. That's why the so called centre ground is such a mess. >There's so many lady comedians that complained about how brutal Mock The Week was because it's 90 minutes of banter/abuse whittled down to a 30 minute show.Katherine Ryan complained about the jostling of Mock the Week, particularly the stand up segments. And she part of that shitty wave towards bad MTV type British comedy with the shows she was on. Like I said, survival of the fittest made people try harder. Nowadays comedy loses it's edge because it's heckin' wholesome working together same opinion panel shows. Or it's desperately trying to appeal to x demographic style shit. Frankie was the excuse they used to say things had gone too far. And I haven't even touched on Mrs Brown Boys or the return to this retarded "fun for everyone" type bullshit. You couldn't make a Brass Eye or The Day Today now. It's painful how neutered it got.
>>217778021Why do they all look American?
They tried this before, in the 1980s there was Saturday Live, loosely based off of SNL, it was later retitled to Friday Night Live. It featured many lefty type comedians and their edgy humour. Then it was cancelled. And it was occasionally brought back on charity nights or one off specials or trying to restart the series but it never really took off. A few years ago Channel 4 did a 40th anniversary special and did Friday Night Live special for it. The end of the show featured a trans mtf musician/comedian getting his dick out on live television and smashing it on piano keys.
>nu comediansYou just know they're all going to be insufferable.
>>217778021Nobody is watching this fucking trash.
>>217778021>>217778028yeah coz this will last more than 2 episodes lmfao
>>217783246>The end of the show featured a trans mtf musician/comedian getting his dick out on live television and smashing it on piano keysNot to mention he sang a song about how he's better than you.
>>217783372This. Obviously it'll be better than the American version, but that's such a low bar.Television is not where any sane person goes for comedy.
>>217782029what's the joke?
>>217783246>Bring back an old show for your 40th anniversary and all it's remembered for is a tranny getting his dick out on live TVSeriously, what the fuck were they thinking? I know it's Channel 4 and they've been the degenerate sUbVeRsIvE channel forever but they couldn't have seriously thought that would go down well.
>>217783709The worst part is the attitude of the tranny. He speaks with the same accent and patter of Russell Brand, that Camden scene modern dandy type bullshit, he sings a song about how he's better than you.>I'm only bloody transgendah ain't I, I know, what am I like!Before smashing a cock on the keys of a keyboard. Oof.
>>217783246There was also a looser adaptation The Friday/Sunday Night Project which had fewer sketches but expanded on the guest host element, including having them co-host its Weekend Update equivalent.
>>217783956>patter of Russell BrandRandom aside but once you notice this type of stuff you can't unsee. Some people just wholesale act like their favourite comedy/comedian. I saw this British board game reviewer on YouTube whose patter was weird and it took me a minute to realise he was behaving a bit like the characters from The Mighty Boosh of all places.
>>217784015What was that called?
>>217784088>The Friday/Sunday Night ProjectIt was The Friday Night Project but then it was moved to Sundays for the last couple of seasons

>>217778021LmaoRest in peace
Why is so much yank drivel being pushed on us now? Its bad enough there is a fucking popeyes and taco bell everywhere now they want to push their shit comedy. SNL is not funny by AMERICAN standards let alone ours which are much higher.Thank god nobody actually watches TV so this can die and be forgotten about gracefully.
>>217784068>he was behaving a bit like the characters from The Mighty Boosh of all places.So he's a mid-2000s indie kid who never grew out of it.
>>217784181I remember that, with Alan Carr, they later changed it to Sunday nights kek. And the other main presenter Justin Lee Collins got done for harassing his ex.
>>217784275I mean it's more than that, it's the language, the expressions, it's like people key in to one comedy act then they are doing that for the rest of their lives.
>>217784279I have two memories of Justin Lee Collins.One was reuniting the A-Team in possibly the most awkward reunion I've ever seen, and the other is him doing a ventriloquist dummy act in front of a bunch of 6 year olds with their parents sat behind them and thinking it'd be a great idea to swear.
>>217784322>I have two memories of Justin Lee CollinsI met him once, I forget what it is, I think it was like a Christmas lights switch on or something like that. The guy had the energy of an excited puppy on screen or when talking to people. I have this vivid memory of seeing him talking to some people, as soon as the conversation was done his expression changed he went around a corner, sighed, and started smoking a fag, holding his nose, eyes closed. Man was done.
>>217784322I saw him walking down london bridge once
This show is barely hanging on in the US and they decide to do this now not decades ago when it would have been a better idea?
>>217784572And the Saturday night TV slot is dead in the UK too so it is even more retarded. The BBC even ruined doctor who which used to get okay viewership.
>>217784572They tried in the 1980s, 90s and 00s to make a SNL analogue in the UK. >>217784181>>217784015>>217783246

>>217784572The network and streaming service it'll be on are owned by Comcast NBC, it used to be successful from getting the rights to HBO shows but with them losing the rights to newer shows and HBO Max finally about to launch in the UK they're probably throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks with IP they own
>>217783246Bongs have their own comedy tradition + sensibility. Why use a foreign brand? Do another Spitting Image if they must.
>>217778358Based Norm appreciator
>>217779403Those breasts are hypnotizing me
>>217784238presumably because it's a cheap replicable format. It's not like they haven't done it before, either.
>>217784322Wasn't there a "let's bring back Star Trek" special, where he didn't get any of the main cast members of Star Trek, and had to rely on tertiary characters from the original series?
>>217778021Who the fuck wanted this?
inb4 they all get arrested for a pepe joke
Anyone remember "Blunder"? It wasn't very good, as I recall.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHk-rIgZrlY
>>217785391He did a bunch of those "Bring Back" shows and they always ended the same way. He'd get interviews by ambushing actors, then for the "reunion" the only ones that would turn up were the secondary characters. Shatner wouldn't even give him an interview kek. I think The A-Team one was the only one where he managed to get the whole main cast in the same room (George Peppard excluded because he was dead).
Looking forward to the /SNLUK/ generals.
>>217785220They already did a spitting image revival.

>>217778021>>217778028they are all ugly
>>217778138>>217786499Good to see appreciation for Big Train.
>>217778358This is the secret chud of the group, probably the only funny one too
>>217786415Love it, this and Big Train are well written
>>217779775You, anon
>>217784238It's a thank-you for Alan Moore and all the other AD2000 cunts who ruined our comic books
>>217778579Just jerk off the lena Paul, they have the same face but Paul's got fat naturals and a bush
>>217778028>only 2 visible non-WhitesThis is going to get flak for not being diverse enough isn't it? London is like half migrant / nigger / Muslim at this point innit?
>>217786775Alan Moore and the British invasion didn't ruin comics, in fact it greatly improved them. The 90s comic book crash caused by the speculator market, ruined comics. And after the crash, people took the wrong lessons from the British Invasion and rather than building upon those works, they held onto those books like a life raft, held them in too high regard and took the most superficial elements from them. Blame the 90s speculator market and the copy cats for the actual problems.
>>217786775>>217786952I blame the Israeli billionaire who stopped Jim Shooter from buying Marvel.
Why is there no SNL japan?
>>217782862
>>217778021what could they be allowed to make comedy about?
>>217787037Well Marvel is differently, Marvel could have weathered the crash, it wasn't as affected as other companies, but Marvel over leveraged itself financially buying trading card companies, distributors etc, at a time just when the trading card market went kaput too.
>>217778021cool. who's the token democrat?
>>217787331All the guys look like closet lib dems and out the closet something else
Dear UKThis is awful and you have our permission to kill it in its cribWe're very sorry we did this–the cousins
Imagine the memes. This is going to be absolutely terrible
>>217786524Celeste as Amelia when?
>>217785391They also had the bright idea to release that one the same day Star Trek actually was brought back to the big screen so the ratings were dire enough they didn't make any more iirc
>>217784199One of the Wiig stans is also into Chris Morris at least
>>217778028>>217778265>that double/triple chinHe's going to play Farage, isn't he?
The best that Britain has offered to comedy over the past decade has been Jimmy fucking Carr and James Corden. Bleak and Grim.
>>217778479>have to apply so they can filter you out for being white Lmfao this shit only exists for streaming onna second screen
>>217778021>British>comedyBrits suck ass at comedy. Even their gold standard Monty Python was 90% misses.
>>217790385Mainstream British comedy has taken a massive dive in quality over the last 20 years. The innate cynical wit of the Englishman is still the best in the world but you won't see anyone like that on a big stage because the whole industry is gatekept by a handful of truly woke awful cunts which is why standup and TV comedy is full of posh women and gay liberal softy twerps. UK mainstream standup is a handful of the old guard who the beeb finds palatable and then the newbies are basically ultra lib theatre kids who aren't funny and have never been funny but decided one day they were going to 'do comedy'. As if you just go to the 'comedy firm ltd' and do a job interview and if you tick the right boxes they platform you and suddenly you're on every panel show in the country.This show will die on its arse.
>>217790815>muh libs>muh wokeThe actual problem is that comedy as a career isn't accessible to working class people anymore.Which is why you get so many middle/upper class kids who start in student comedy at uni and can afford to keep doing it for no money while taking expensive trips to Edinburgh every year, those people having politics (and a lack of talent) you disagree with is actually the result of a lack of diversity.
>>217790867>comedy as a career isn't accessible to working class people anymore.Comedy in the UK has literally always been oxbridge private school kids.
Another unfunny woke show filled with people no body has ever heard of
>>217791833No it has't, you used to get people like Frankie Boyle
>>217792639A couple of stand ups does not change the general reality of British comedy. The majority of them are toffs.
