\n\tLive from London, it\u2019s Saturday Night! Saturday Night Live UK<\/a><\/em> will kick off with Tina Fey, a host undoubtedly familiar to fans of the long-running variety show. Wet Leg, who made one of the best indie albums of 2025<\/a>, will serve as the first musical guest. Episodes will run 75 minutes and air on Sky at 10 p.m. GMT.<\/p>\n \n\tGiven the popularity of British panel shows<\/a> in the U.S., SNL<\/a> UK<\/em> is likely to be a hit on this side of the pond, too, with cast members familiar to fans of shows like Taskmaster<\/em> and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown<\/em>. If you\u2019re looking to catch the show in the U.S., it will be available to stream the next day, March 22, on Peacock<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\tPeacock\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n \n\t\tPeacock is available starting at $11 for the Premium version or as a bundle with Apple TV starting at $15\/mo. A free trial is not available, although it\u2019s possible to try it for free with a bundle to another service<\/a>, such as with DirecTV\u2019s Movies Extra Pack.<\/a>\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n\tAside from the slightly shorter runtime, the U.K. edition will feature a familiar format, including an opening monologue, musical performances, and the long-running satirical news desk, Weekend Update. Ania Magliano and Paddy Young will co-host the Update segment. SNL<\/em> creator Lorne Michaels will serve as the executive producer of the British incarnation, which arrives as SNL<\/em> celebrated its 50th anniversary<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n \n\tSky TV dropped a teaser for the inaugural episode, with Tina Fey dropping down on the cast dressed as Mary Poppins. In the clip, she pulls out props from her carpet bag to help the cast, including wigs, a long shoe, and a copy of the Epstein files, a reminder that some headlines are inescapable on either side of the Atlantic. <\/p>\n![\"music](\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/watch-harry-styles-snl-free-peacock.jpeg?w=800\")
