NBC’s Saturday Night Live will wrap its 45th season a little earlier than usual, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The sketch comedy program will air its third “At Home” original this Saturday, May 9, which will serve as the season finale. (Last year’s season finale was on May 18). There will be no host or musical guest this week.
SNL‘s last fully live, regular original episode was on March 7, with host Daniel Craig and musical guest the Weeknd, just before New York’s pandemic shutdown. After that, the show’s planned spring hiatus was extended.
