Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is NBC’s long-running late-night sketch comedy and variety series (airs Saturdays 11:30 p.m. ET) that combines live sketches, celebrity hosts, musical guests and recurring segments. NBC supports the broadcast with a broad digital program—clips, web exclusives, behind‑the‑scenes features and curated compilations—while promoting seasons, premieres and highlights across NBC.com and Peacock.
Behind‑the‑scenes and web exclusives
NBC publishes behind‑the‑scenes content (e.g., "Behind the Sketch" features, bloopers and dressing‑room tours) and other web exclusives to provide additional context and extend audience engagement beyond the live show. [1]
Cast and featured players
NBC maintains a cast page listing current repertory cast and featured players (examples from Season 50 include Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim, Heidi Gardner, Marcello Hernández, Sarah Sherman, Mikey Day and Kenan Thompson). [2]
Distribution and streaming (Peacock)
In addition to clip hosting on NBC.com, episodes and curated content are promoted and available on Peacock; NBC links guide viewers to full-episode or streaming options. [3]
How to watch live, schedule and tickets
NBC provides local schedule information, showtimes and resources for obtaining tickets or studio experiences for audience members and viewers seeking to watch live. [4]
Notable hosts and monologues
NBC uploads individual monologue clips and promotional material for high-profile hosts (examples include Jack Black, Jon Hamm, Scarlett Johansson and Quinta Brunson) as standalone content. [5]
Premieres and host announcements (example: Season 51)
Promotional clips and announcements for season premieres, including high-profile host reveals and sneak-peek promos, are published on the site to drive interest in live broadcasts and streaming. [6]
Recurring sketch groups and digital performers
Ensembles and digital performers—such as Please Don’t Destroy—have recurring sketches that run on-air and as digital highlights; NBC posts those clips to expand the series’ reach online. [7]
Seasonal highlights and curated compilations
NBC publishes seasonal recaps and curated "best of" compilations (e.g., top monologues, cold opens and Weekend Update moments) to showcase highlights across a season. [8]
Show overview and official hub
SNL’s official NBC hub provides the program description, broadcast time and a centralized location for clips, promos, season information and links to related streaming and ticket resources. [9]
Weekend Update segment
Weekend Update is SNL’s flagship satirical news segment (anchored by Colin Jost and Michael Che in recent seasons). NBC posts individual Update clips and recurring character bits as separate highlights. [10]
