ITV4 to show Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live has been broadcast on American TV screens almost every Saturday night since 1975. The groundbreaking show is now heading for ITV4 where it will make its debut on Saturday, 4th November at midnight.

For the first time ever, UK viewers can catch recent SNL instalments, as ITV4 broadcasts episodes just two to three weeks after they have aired across the pond. The show has been the launch pad for many a Hollywood star’s career. Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Mike Myers, Robert Downey Jr, Ben Stiller and Chris Rock all made their name on SNL. Several sketches have spawned box office successes, the most famous being The Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World.
