When “Saturday Night Live” kicked off its 45th season at the end of September, likely no one involved with production expected it to be potentially the most creative season the show’s ever had.
That premiere episode skewered the impeachment hearings – remember those? – and the cast likely planned to do more of the same throughout the next dozens of episodes.
But you know what they say about the best laid plans …The season ended Saturday with the third pretaped, remote episode in a row due to the physical distancing demands created by the covid-19 pandemic.These three episodes have been unlike anything in the show’s lengthy history, and not simply because they weren’t filmed in Studio 8H.
