16th, 17th and 18th episodes of the 45th season of Saturday Night Live
"Saturday Night Live at Home" refers to the final three episodes of the 45th season of the late-night comedy program Saturday Night Live.[1] Whereas SNL typically consists of sketches performed live in-studio, these "at Home" episodes were recorded remotely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television; none of the sketches were performed live for any of these episodes, and none of the participants in any sketch from these shows were in the same physical location.[2]
The first episode aired on April 11, 2020. The episode was hosted by Tom Hanks, and its musical guest was Chris Martin. A segment also paid tribute to long-time music producer Hal Willner, who died of COVID-19. It was received positively by critics.[3] The second episode aired on April 25. The episode did not have a credited host, but Brad Pitt appeared in the cold open and introduced the episode's musical guest, Miley Cyrus.[4] The third episode aired on May 9 and acted as a Mother's Day-themed episode as well as the season finale. The episode's host was Kristen Wiig, and its musical guests were Boyz II Men and Babyface.[5]
In contrast to regular episodes, where the host would have been involved in most sketches of the night, and where the host and musical guest were in-studio with the cast members and crew, the involvement of the host for these episodes was scaled down to the bare minimum, and only Kristen Wiig participated in any of the show's sketches on the night she hosted. Also, by contrast, where studio episodes allowed the musical guests to perform at least twice, the remote episodes only featured a single performance from each week's musical guest.
