Season 52, Episode 4 of Saturday Night Live airs on Saturday, 31 October 2026 at 11.29pm ET on Peacock.
Is it for me?
A sketch show for people who like their jokes about this week's news and can forgive the ones that miss. The cold open ends with a cast member shouting the live-from-New-York line, and recurring characters wander in to interrupt Weekend Update. The rough edges of live performance are part of the pull.
Before you start
Every episode stands alone, and the cast changes over the years, so most people pick an era they like instead of watching straight through.
