More from Spin:

Per Sky, SNL UK is “written, rehearsed and performed in the week of broadcast, preserving [the show’s] famously fast turnaround creative process. Each show is staged in front of a live studio audience, every episode features an opening monologue, topical sketches, live music and a U.K. adaptation of SNL’s iconic satirical news segment, Weekend Update. Together, this first wave of hosts, musical guests and cast members marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for the globally acclaimed SNL franchise — blending its storied legacy with a fresh generation of British comedy voices.”

Across the pond, SNL is basking in the afterglow of Harry Styles pulling hosting and music duties on last weekend’s episode. One of his performances was introduced by Paul Simon, while Styles also showed off his impression of Italian-American comedian Sebastian Maniscalco. The show resumes April 4 with host Woody Harrelson and musical guest Jack White.
