Weekend Update Summer Edition airs in the US on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
Which explains why the show’s just introduced its new spin-off, Weekend Update Summer Edition, which offers its writers the opportunity to make the best out of all the absurdity pouring of the White House.
Saturday Night Live may be on its summer recess, but there’s a clear anxiety over missing out on the news cycle.
It’s also a chance for a few familiar and beloved faces to make an appearance, with the series’ first episode seeing SNL alumni Bill Hader dropping in as Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci.
