Saturday Night Live finally returned with a new episode on Saturday, April 11, following an extended hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic and resulting production shutdowns — but it is not returning on Saturday, April 18.
In the stellar return, SNL took a page from the playbook of other late-night TV shows and improvised with an "SNL at Home" edition, which was produced remotely while the cast and crew practice social distancing.
The episode featured pre-recorded sketches filmed by the cast at home, an all-new installment of "Weekend Update," and a few celebrity guests, and it even brought back Tom Hanks as host!
