## Why 'SNL' Isn't On Tonight and When It Will Return
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is currently on a brief hiatus following Thanksgiving, giving fans a short break before delivering a fresh lineup of episodes filled with star-studded performances. This week, as was the case last week, SNL is airing a rerun instead of a new episode.
The show will return soon with its much-anticipated new installment, featuring a fan-favorite host. Details on the exact date of the new episode and the host have been shared by the producers, who are promising an exciting return packed with comedy sketches and celebrity appearances.
> "We are taking a moment to recharge after the holiday rush to bring viewers even better content," said one SNL insider.
Fans can look forward to the next new episode which aims to continue SNL's legacy of sharp, topical humor combined with remarkable musical guests.
