# Tina Fey Confirmed to Host SNL UK Alongside Hollywood Stars

Comedy icon Tina Fey is set to host the inaugural episode of Saturday Night Live UK, marking a significant moment in British television comedy.

The announcement brings excitement among fans as Fey joins an impressive lineup of Hollywood talent. Scheduled to kick off the series, the legendary comedian and former SNL star promises to deliver a delightful experience for audiences.

Head writer Johnson expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, "The number of funny, talented writers we have got to work on SNL UK is ludicrous. Some of them have been doing this for years, some of them it's their first ever writing job. All of them make me giddy to come to work each day. Could not imaginably feel luckier that we get to make this show together."

Meanwhile, Sky executive Phil Edgar Jones OBE commented on the preparation for the show's debut, noting, "As SNL UK races towards launch our brilliant team of writers are already hard at work crafting some sublime and (importantly) funny sketches for our equally brilliant cast to perform. I've been lucky enough to attend a couple of table reads and I am delighted to report I cried laughing. We cannot wait to share the fun with a wider audience."

With Fey at the helm and a talented team behind the scenes, SNL UK aims to captivate viewers with fresh comedy and innovative sketches.
