It shouldn’t be. After all, SNL is a broad format; if the UK version follows the American original, it’ll be a Saturday night show written from scratch every week by a large team of writers plus the 11 comedians who play all the parts, and an opening monologue by a big-name celebrity. For those who haven’t seen SNL, you may be familiar with details of the show from its proxies – the terrifyingly quick turnaround so faithfully and tediously documented by Aaron Sorkin in his big flop of the mid-2000s, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and with much more success by Tina Fey in 30 Rock.
