Live from London, it’s Saturday Night Live!
The iconic sketch comedy franchise made its debut in the United Kingdom on March 21 with Saturday Night Live UK. The inaugural episode featured SNL alum Tina Fey as the host and English indie rock band Wet Leg as the musical guest.
Fey opened the show with a monologue that included surprise guest appearances from actor Michael Cera and British talk show host Graham Norton.
In her opening remarks, Fey expressed her excitement, saying, “It’s an absolute honour and kind of historic. Guys, I am the youngest person to ever host SNL UK!”
Wet Leg performed two songs from their sophomore album, Moisturizer, which debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart and also secured the top spot on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart.
The band first performed “Mangetout,” the album’s fourth single, a Grammy-nominated track that made Billboard’s list of the 20 best U.K. and Ireland songs of 2025. They later returned to stage to perform the lead single, “Catch These Fists.”
Following their appearance on SNL UK, Wet Leg is set to return to the United States for a series of major festival performances, including Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Outside Lands. Their U.S. tour will kick off on April 15 at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California.
Subsequent episodes of SNL UK have been scheduled, with Wolf Alice set to perform on the March 28 show hosted by Jamie Dornan, followed by Kasabian on the April 2 episode featuring host Riz Ahmed.
The series airs on Sky in the U.K. and is available for streaming on Peacock in the U.S. The debut episode attracted over 220,000 viewers on Sky, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and became accessible in the U.S. on March 22 via Peacock.
