It’s time to find out whether the US comedy staple raises laughs in the UK. Plus: remember Alan Partridge’s Kate Bush medley? Here’s what to watch this evening

10pm, Sky One

See, isn't SNL meant to be a liberal thing? The UK version being on Murdoch TV is odd. Many of the principled liberals I know boycott Murdoch. SNL UK going to encourage the viewers to boycott Murdoch? Or is it not really that liberal?

Interesting, luckily my home server view won't give Murdoch any ad revenue. The episode felt as political as any SNL episode from the US.

I don't think pirate stream is part of their model.

It makes no sense for this be on Sky. If your engaged liberal, you won't be on Sky. If you right wing or "don't care about politics", SNL is not what you want. Channel 4 would be the natural fit for SNL.
