The inaugural episode of SNL UK premiered on Saturday, with seasoned SNL performer Tina Fey hosting. Questions arose from individuals, including Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan, about the choice of an American host. Fey addressed this in her monologue, stating, “Why an American host? The reason given to me was, for this first episode, how do I put this politely: none of you would do it.” Audience members like Michael Cera and Graham Norton also participated, with Norton offering to assist by saying, “I have a gift for making American celebrities likeable to a British audience.” The episode also featured the first cold open mocking UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which was later shared by Donald Trump.
