Saturday Night Live has not just relocated from America to Britain; it has transformed the whole vibe of the show.
The new season kicked off on Saturday, September 12th, with some of the most promising performances and unforgettable humour from the English actors, including George Fouracres, Larry Dean, Jeff Goldblum, Tina Fey, and others.
Subtle dig at Royal Family's ongoing Harry, Meghan drama
George Fouracres opened the season as he imitated the newly elected Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, with his powerful line, "I’m the new PM, and I’m nothing like the last one."
While from the British Royal Family, Larry Dean represented King Charles, who mocked Jack Shep and Ayoade Bamgboye, who played Harry and Meghan.
Charles said, "Don’t tell me you’ve spent all your Netflix money!" leaving the crowd in stitches.
One singer performed in the opening segment of the Saturday Night Live UK Season 2 premiere, as host Jeff Goldblum opened the show with a solo jazz musical number.
Followed by a skit featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visiting Balmoral Castle.
Chris Rock breaks silence on his SNL association
As the new episode of the show gained momentum on social media, Chris Rock reflected on joining Saturday Night Live in 1990 at 25, years after Eddie Murphy discovered him as a teenager.
In an interview with Variety, Chris added, "Chris Farley and me and Adam [Sandler] and David Spade shared an office."
"We would go, ‘Oh, let’s make a McDonald’s run.’ ‘Carolyn Bessette’s here tonight! You gonna talk to her?’ ‘No, you talk to her.’ Then she came in with JFK. ‘Oh, that’s what she’s going for.’ It was a magical time," he told the outlet.
About SNL
For those unaware, the actor left SNL in 1993 while the show continued for 6 seasons (Seasons 1 through 5, plus Season 7 returning to the format)
Season 6, under producer Jean Doumanian, experimented with different episode formats and dropped the standard cold open and the iconic "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" catchphrase for most of its run.
