SNL live stream: Watch tonight’s episode live in all time zones with Jimmy Fallon
Saturday Night Live welcomes alum Jimmy Fallon and musical guest Harry Styles tonight live in all time zones.
The presidential situation has given SNL new life and the late night sketch show keeps its historic season going this weekend as it welcomes Jimmy Fallon and Harry Styles. Especially important for those watching at home, for the first time in 42 years and for the rest of the season, SNL will broadcast live in all time zones, coast-to-coast. That means 11:30 p.m. ET, 10:30 p.m. CT, 9:30 p.m. MT, and 8:30 PT.
Fallon, now best known as the jovial and viral host of The Tonight Show, is an alum of SNL, whereas Styles hails from global phenomenon One Direction. Fallon will bring boundless amounts of unscripted laughter, he is, after all, notorious for breaking character. Styles is promoting his first solo album and, more likely than not, will play his latest single, “Sign of the Times.”
Still, it’s not all good vibes over at 30 Rock. Former cast member Jay Pharoah recently spoke out about the show’s decision to not renew his contract last summer. As reported by Variety, he told Hot97 that he was put in an “impression box” and expected to do all the black impressions. At the same time, the impression he was best known for – former president Obama – turned up in fewer and fewer sketches, robbing the world of a Pharoah/Obama, Baldwin/Trump scene.
Pharoah also claimed SNL “almost fired him” for speaking up about the cast’s diversity problem. Diversity shots are nothing new for SNL and the show may or may not respond to the latest disclosures.
Lorne Michaels, the famed and infamous creator of the show, remarkably remains above the fray. Pharoah, as he told Hot97, has no beef with Lorne.
