"In the end, a comedy show leaves you with a feeling that tells you whether it worked or not. The general feeling... will be that the inaugural episode of Saturday Night Live UK did work."
"It began... with an impression of Keir Starmer... trying to overcome his feelings for Trump... and then we were out of the traditional cold open and into the guest host monologue."
"One of the stronger sketches, about a skincare range so effective everyone will think your husband is a nonce! It's Underage, by Pedolay... but that is an SNL tradition almost as longstanding as the cold open."
The inaugural episode of Saturday Night Live UK received mixed reactions, with some viewers feeling it worked better than others. The show began with a Keir Starmer impression, followed by a monologue from Tina Fey. While some sketches started stilted, the episode improved, featuring a notable skincare sketch. Although some segments felt bloated, the overall feeling was one of relative triumph, showcasing a blend of humor and traditional SNL elements.
