Over the past several months, I’ve revisited a long list of classic Saturday Night Live sketches while assembling my ideal SNL episode.
My personal lineup leans heavily toward the 1990s and early 2000s, featuring everything from Steve Martin’s unforgettable “Not Gonna Phone It In Tonight” musical opener to favorites such as “Van Down by the River” and “Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.” Still, with Season 52 on the horizon, there’s always the possibility that a new generation of SNL classics is about to emerge.
There are also several Saturday Night Live-related titles worth streaming before the show returns. Netflix has added all six seasons of the legendary Canadian sketch series SCTV, while the documentary SCTV: The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of arrives on the platform October 30. Norm Macdonald will also be the subject of Judd Apatow’s upcoming Netflix documentary, Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald, premiering October 16. Meanwhile, HBO will spotlight Dennis Miller’s run on Monday Night Football in the “NFL Short” Miller Night Football, airing Tuesday, September 29, at 9:00 p.m. ET. Now, back to the main event.
When is Saturday Night Live back with new episodes? Is SNL airing tonight? Here’s the complete schedule and streaming information.
