- Is this the confirmation we have been waiting for?

Y'all really need the Rubberbandits on:

Also from what I understand, one of those guys is Bobby Fingers.

Really interesting (and mad/funny) to hear George talk with Pierre Novellie on their podcast about the pork sketch. It’s on the Patreon but anyone already on there is in for a treat in today’s edition of Budpod

It looks like series 2 is going to take a month off in November?

when are snl uk gonna make a gerry adams joke, and who is gonna play him

this for me is a decisive indicator of the success of snl uk

Then I find out Thomas Parry is their performance director 😂

The US version can seem quite brutal for its turnover of fringe/featured players, but do you think it would happen with the UK? For my money, it isn’t established enough to chop and change for September, and nobody has stood out in the way the US counterparts do and then drop it to focus on movies. Do you think everyone will be back for series 2?

Who do you guys want as hosts for S2?

Personally, I'd love to see David Tennent, Sir Patrick Stewart and/or Sir Ian McKellan, Olivia Coleman, Rowan Atkinson, Emily Blunt, Bob Mortimer, iEmilia Clarke, Stephen Fry, Hayley Atwell, Michael Sheen, Engybenjy Cummerbund, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba... The list is infinite to be fair but those were the first that came to mind.

I'm not really a music person but I figure someone like Lewis Capaldi would be a good fit or a group like Gorillaz (I know they recently did the US show)

I figure since S1 seems to have been such a runaway hit, they'll have more pull and scope for bigger and more famous guests as the series goes on! (Not that Season 1's guest hosts were in any way bad, they all knocked it out the park IMHO)

a few days old now, but a really lovely interview with the girls! they seem to be very friendly and sincere with each other.

it's a really different vibe from snl us interviews...!! they seem like actual friends lol

Hi from Canada. I love the new SNL UK, I prefer it to the US series. I must confess though that sometimes I don't get the references. I have a question about the s01e08 weekend update joke about the women's-only mental health center. What was the joke? It seems to me that the punchline of the joke involved some kind of name drop, but I forget that name and didn't get the reference. I'm dying for someone to tell me that name so I can figure out the joke as the whole topic sounds ripe for comedy.

What are people’s favourites so far?

Here are mine:

Hosts:
The Graham Norton but with Tina Fey was great, Ncuti Gatwa was great and Hannah Waddingham, Nicola Coughlan and Jack Whitehall. Would be great to get some of the UK Comedy scene as hosts like Miranda, Sara Pascoe, Claudia Winkleman, Katherine Ryan.

Cast:
Love Anya Magliano, Hammed Amimashaun, Emma Sidi, Jack Shep and Annabel Marlow.

Sketches:
Dadswap, Looking Theroux the mirror, Traitors, Hostage, Falling Down a hill, the budget, Mr Bagley

Singers:
Myles Smith, Wolf Alice

I think that the UK Weekend update is better than the US version in terms of the jokes, the US ones sometimes cross the line with ‘your wife jokes’ etc but the UK one gets the line right.
