For nearly five decades, Saturday Night Live had been winning viewers’ hearts with its live comedy and plethora of celebrity hosts. Now, in 2026, the show has finally made its way from New York to London in the new UK reincarnation of the long-running NBC series. Filled with star power and produced by Lorne Michaels, Saturday Night Live UK premiered on March 21, 2026. Well, no sooner had the live sketch comedy variety show made its debut than it left viewers completely divided. This was especially the case since the premier took aim at the disgraced Prince Andrew-Mountbatten-Windsor and the ongoing Beckham family feud.

Saturday Night Live UK has become the talk of the town ever since its recent premiere. Well, one of the most noteworthy moments from the season opener was a political parody of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, played by cast member, George Fouracres. He was seen trying to set boundaries with US President Donald Trump over the phone. Soon after, this was followed by a dinner party sketch in which viewers saw some of “history’s greatest Britons.” This included Princess Diana, David Attenborough, and Winston Churchill.
