'Saturday Night Live' to return with remote broadcast
Saturday night will be (sort of) live again. After a three-week hiatus in response to preventative coronavirus measures, SNL will return with new content on April 11.
While individual sketches may not necessarily be live (we've all faced technical difficulties with video streams of late), but the show will include a "Weekend Update" and other segments filmed remotely by the cast. SNL's return comes on the heels of producer Hal Willner's passing away after demonstrating symptoms in line with COVID-19.

The last time Saturday Night Live aired as scheduled, in front of a live studio audience, was the March 7 episode hosted by Daniel Craig. Quarantine measures began to take effect shortly after that, during a scheduled break, until the March 28 show hosted by John Krasinski was cancelled and ushered in a new hiatus.
