SNL At Home returning for its second edition this weekend

Deadline

Saturday Night Live will be back for its second remote episode two weeks after garnering strong reviews and ratings for its first SNL At Home episode on April 11. "We're back this Saturday," SNL tweeted today, accompanied by a video of cast members navigating technical difficulties. SNL didn't announce an official host for Saturday's broadcast. This is the second time SNL announced an "At Home" broadcast just two days ahead of time. The first SNL At Home drew a 4.6 Live+Same Day household ratings, despite the broadcast not airing in primetime on the West Coast like the usual live broadcasts. Even under normal circumstances, Saturday Night Live doesn't usually broadcast a new show on the last Saturday of April, which is when the White House Correspondents' Dinner takes place. This has allowed Seth Meyers, Cecily Strong and, this year, Kenan Thompson to host the annual event. (Thompson was supposed to host the Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, but it has since been rescheduled to Aug. 29.)
