Mulaney fronts John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch, a musical comedy special that began streaming on Netflix in late December. Below you can read a letter Lorne Michaels wrote to his “fellow Canadians” apologizing for Mulaney having to cancel a February 28 show in Toronto to prep for the SNL gig:

Craig returns as James Bond in the suave British superspy’s 25th film, No Time to Die, which opens April 10.

The sketch-comedy series produced by Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video is in its 45th season on NBC. This weekend’s host is Rupaul, with Justin Bieber supplying the tunes. The program airs live at 11:30 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. PT.
