It could be a great way for NBC to bring the show’s current events-skewing rhetoric to wider audiences.
Strangely enough, it’s being reported by Politico that this new project would forego everything being described by both the titles Saturday Night Live and “Weekend Update” by airing in the mid-week on Thursday nights.
The details aren’t very plentiful at this point, since everything is kind of up in the air, but Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” spinoff is supposedly being set up as a weekly half-hour series set to air during the primetime hours.
