SNL UK Sends Prince Andrew Back to 1997 With a 29-Year Plan

SNL UK’s second cold open spoofed Prince Andrew, retelling his 1997-era mission with MI5 to make Prince Charles more likable for his future kingship, even tying in Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson. The sketch climaxes with the line about befriending Epstein and the reveal of the code word “Pizza Express Woking” to exit the plan. Jamie Dornan hosts in the UK debut hosted by a non‑American, while the show airs on Sky One with Peacock carrying it in the US the following day.

Tina Fey Guides SNL UK to a Promising Debut

Tina Fey anchors Saturday Night Live UK's premiere on Sky One with a steady, straight-forward hosting approach that lends credibility to the UK spin-off. The episode introduces a capable ensemble (George Fouracres, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi, Hammed Animashaun, Celeste Dring) and delivers several funny moments, but also displays familiar SNL DNA and uneven sketches. Still, Fey’s involvement boosts optimism for the series as it expands to Peacock in the U.S. for next-day viewing.

SNL Lands in London With Warm Reception

London's SNL UK premiere sticks to the US format, with Tina Fey hosting and a new British cast; early reviews are largely positive, praising the show's structure, jokes, and a Wet Leg performance, though some critics warn it risks copying the US version and wonder if it can sustain momentum beyond Fey's guidance as eight episodes roll out.

SNL UK Opens Strong With 226k Sky One Debut

SNL UK premiered on Sky One to about 226,000 viewers (3.2% share) at 10pm, beating Channel 4 in the same slot, while BBC News led the hour with nearly 2M viewers. NBC’s US version started much smaller (6,800 viewers) and last week’s guest host drew around 4,550, illustrating a fragmented landscape. Sky says overnight ratings are only one signal and will also count Now streaming views and clip virality, suggesting the UK edition could grow as audiences shift to on-demand and social clips.
