April 9 (UPI) -- NBC announced on Thursday that Saturday Night Live was creating new content for weekly shows. The first #SNL at home episode will air on Saturday, the show announced on Twitter.
The official Saturday Night Live account shared a picture of 17 cast members -- including Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney -- on a video chat from their homes.
Saturday Night Live performs in New York City where stay-at-home orders are in place. Talk shows like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon are conducting shows from the hosts home, with video chat interviews with celebrities.
The sketch comedy of Saturday Night Live is more of a creative challenge, but the writers and cast of SNL are attempting to meet it. NBC News reports that the show will meet its 11:30 p.m. EDT air date with sketches and a version of Weekend Update.
