When will we be hearing the classic call to welcome — “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night” — next? Well, it won’t be this week, Saturday, April 19, as the Saturday Night Live season 50 not airing a new episode. In fact, it’ll be a couple of weeks, as it looks like the next time the comedy series will be back with a new episode is on May 3.
SNL is coming off three straight weeks of new episodes that aired on March 29, April 5 and April 12. Hosts for those episodes included Mikey Madison (and Morgan Wallen’s now infamous quick exit after being the musical performer), Jack Black and Jon Hamm. On average that’s been about how many shows SNL produces in a row this season before taking a mini break.
