During his opening monologue, first-time Saturday Night Live host Dan Levy got a surprise visit from his father, actor and comedian Eugene Levy, who showed up in a Covid-safe “isolation box”.
“I flew in to wish you luck tonight, but because I traveled, I’m in this isolation box!”
Well, after all these years I have just 7 words to say to you: ‘Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!’
Wearing a sparkling black suit, the younger Levy, who co-created Emmy award-winning comedy Schitt’s Creek with his father, took the audience on a backstage tour of SNL studio 8H, while reassuring that things were still the same, just safer.
