During an appearance on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers', John Oliver expressed skepticism about a UK adaptation of 'Saturday Night Live'. He described the original show's structure as unique and likened its following to a cult, suggesting that replicating this dynamic would not work in the UK. As Oliver humorously highlighted, such adherence to strict schedules, like staying up all night before a show, exemplifies cult-like behavior. His comments come just as the British version is set to debut in 2026, produced by 'SNL' creator Lorne Michaels.
"It just sounds like a bad - we have had sketch comedy before, and it just feels like 'Saturday Night Live' is such a unique group. It's a cult."
"What night is it that you stay up all night? That's ridiculous. I'm saying that's the kind of a thing a cult leader would make you do."
