When Does ‘SNL’ Come Back? Season 45, Episode 16 Air Date Revealed

UPDATE: Monday, 4:39 p.m. EDT-- "SNL" has canceled their planned March 28 return. TVLine reports that the NBC show has been placed on an indefinite delay due to coronavirus.

Original story: Those looking for skits from last night’s “Saturday Night Live” won’t find any new videos. Last night was a rerun, but it wasn’t because of coronavirus. The NBC variety show has a planned hiatus, and they haven’t announced any COVID-19 postponements because they’re not coming back until the end of the month.

“SNL” Season 45, episode 16 is planned to air on March 28. That’s two weeks off, but keep an eye out for updates. NBC has shut down both “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers” for now. It isn’t clear if they’ll do the same for “SNL.”

Even if the veteran sketch comedy show does keep its March 28 return date, it likely won’t have a live audience. Before halting production on the late-night talk shows, both Fallon and Meyer’s programs had announced that they would stop bringing in live audiences in order to help with social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The next scheduled host for “Saturday Night Live” was John Krasinski. He was supposed to be there to promote “A Quiet Place Part II,” but the movie is no longer hitting theaters on March 20. Krasinski announced last week that Paramount Pictures was moving the film’s release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“One of the things I’m most proud of is that people have said our movie is one you have to see all together,” Krasinski wrote on Twitter. “Well due to the ever-changing circumstances of what’s not going on around us now is clearly not the right time to do that. As insanely excited as we all are for you to see this movie, I’m going to wait to release the film until we can all see it together. So here’s to our group movie date. See you soon!”

A new release date has not been announced yet.

If all goes as planned with “SNL” returning on March 28, Dua Lipa will be the musical guest. Her album “Future Nostalgia” is set to drop on April 3.
