Trending Now: Saturday Night Live UK: Jack Whitehall Confirmed As Latest Celebrity Host – Fans React

Following the success of the first two episodes, fronted by Tina Fey and Jamie Dornan, the stand-up comic will present the fourth instalment of the live comedy variety show next month.

The Brit Awards host will be joined by Jorja Smith as his musical guest, who’ll be performing two songs over the course of the live broadcast.

Before that, though, Bait actor Riz Ahmed will be presenting episode three this coming weekend, with music from Kasabian.

Once Riz and Jack’s episodes are out of the way, SNL UK will be taking a one-week hiatus, after which it will return for the second half of the season, having recently had its runtime boosted from six instalments to eight.

Lorne Michaels, who created SNL in 1975, is also the UK show’s executive producer, working alongside a team of 20 writers and a resident troupe of 11 comedians, including Taskmaster alum Emma Sidi and Ania Magliano, Black Ops star Hammed Animashaun and TikTok fave Jack Shep.
