The fifth episode of “Saturday Night Live U.K.” opened with a sketch mocking Keir Starmer’s choice of Peter Mandelson as British ambassador to the U.S.
The sketch featured Al Nash as Jeremy Clarkson – a.k.a. “fake farmer and real a–hole” – as the host of “Who Wants to Remain a Millionaire?” and George Fouracres as Starmer. The question posed was, “Is it ever a good idea to give Peter Mandelson a job?”
This week’s episode is hosted by “Bridgerton’s” Nicola Coughlan and features Foo Fighters as the musical guest.
Alongside the weekly host, “SNL U.K.” stars Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi and Paddy Young.
“SNL U.K.” is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio’s U.K. production team and Broadway Video for Sky and NOW. Lorne Michaels is executive producing, James Longman will serve as lead producer, Liz Clare as director and Daran Jonno Johnson takes as head writer.
Alongside airing live on Sky and streaming service NOW, “SNL U.K.” is available to watch the next day on Peacock in the U.S.
