What's on SNL Tonight? Find Out Who is Hosting and Performing During The Epidemic

After a week of working from home or—even worse—not working at all due to the novel coronavirus' increasing spread across the country, a little comedy over the weekend could do us all some good.

We can count on Saturday Night Live to bring the funny on Saturday, but it won't be a new episode of the NBC sketch comedy show. In fact, there sadly won't be any new tapings of SNL for the time being.

The long-running series was already scheduled to be on hiatus until March 28. John Krasinki was scheduled to make his hosting debut on the episode while Dua Lipa was planned to take over the SNL stage for the second time. However, Newsweek has confirmed SNL will not resume reproduction at all. The show has been delayed as NBC takes the necessary precautions to keep their employees safe and help prevent further spread of the virus.

It's not just an effort people at SNL are taking. A number of network shows that are filmed in front of live audiences were suspended in light of coronavirus. The taping of late-night shows on NBC's roster like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers were canceled indefinitely as well as late-night productions on other networks including Late Night with Seth Meyers, Late Late Night with James Cordon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and more.

So while everyone, including our SNL favs, is at home self-quarantining and practicing good social distancing habits, we'll just have to get our thrills with re-runs. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. After 45-years of SNL, there's definitely plenty in the vault to keep viewers entertained on Saturday nights for quite some time.

The first of the previously recorded episodes is a more recent feature that aired just a few weeks before the coronavirus chaos erupted in the U.S. It's football star J.J. Watt's hosting debut, which aired on February 1.

You'll definitely want to watch him in "The Sex Talk" sketch and hear Watt relish in his old sensual tales of "clapping those cheeks" alongside SNL cast member Kyle Mooney. Another good one from Watt's hosting gig is "Madden 21," in which Watt has to read promo dialogue for the newest Madden game. The copy is absolutely terrible albeit hilarious, and the sketch is even more of a knee-slapper when Watt learns his brother is the one writing the horrible game copy.

Luke Combs also made his SNL debut on February 1 tapping. The country star belted out his 2019 hit single "Beer Never Broke My Heart" and the What You See Is What You Get album anthem "Lovin' on You."
