If you were hoping to spend your weekend laughing at Saturday Night Live bits while social-distancing and self-quarantining—whether for personal health reasons or to merely an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus that's sweeping the nation—the good news is, you can still do that. The bad news, however, is that you'll be watching a show you've likely already seen.

There won't be a new episode of SNL this week, or next week for that matter. And no, COVID-19 has nothing to do with delayed production. The SNL team are simply taking a little break—probably to cook up new content for the remainder of the season—as they often do.

SNL will return on March 28 with first-time host John Krasinski. Dua Lipa is also scheduled to hit the SNL stage for the second time when the show comes back.

In the meantime, NBC will air a few SNL reruns to help pass the time, starting with Kristen Stewart's episode.

Stewart hosted SNL back in November 2019 and noticeably didn't drop any f-bombs they way she did when she hosted two years prior. The 29-year-old delivered a seamless monologue despite admitting that she didn't feel "totally comfy" standing on stage and talking about herself and Charlie's Angels, the movie she was promoting at the time. To help ease her discomfort, Stewart opted to spend her show-opening segment asking the audience questions to evade having to answer them herself.

She appeared in a few good sketches too. Perhaps the best of the night was "Duolingo for Talking to Children." While it couldn't compare to the sensual heat and hilarity evoked in her famous 2017 sketch "Totino's"—in which Stewart seduces a housewife played by Vanessa Bayer—nothing is quite as relatable as seeing the actress play a woman, who once told her co-worker's son that schools sucks, who then successfully become a "brat whisperer" by using an app that teaches her how to correctly engage in conversations with her friends' and colleagues' kids.

Another standout from Stewart's November appearance on SNL was "New Paint." Stewart and Beck Bennet play a couple visiting his sister, portrayed by Aidy Bryant. All hell breaks loose when the pair discover Bryant's character—who pronounces "colors" like "colours" with a heavy emphasis on the "u"—has basically run through her inheritance after buying incredibly expensive paint from a company named Farrow and Ball.

While Stewart held down the host position, Coldplay took over the stage as performers. So if you didn't get to catch Chris Martin and his crew jam out to tracks on their latest album, Everyday Life, then you can watch them play now.

The SNL rerun will air on NBC on Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET.
