(smh) Not SNL anymore. I guess they're gonna have to start calling it "Saturday Night (Not) Live cheap knock off" now. It's bad enough that SNL here in America went downhill. Now these cowards are more interested in saving face and not offending anyone than being creative and relevant and... well... funny.

So, New show SN starts July 22 :)

KirbyX • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

will they rename the show to RFN Korea ? Recorded Friday Night.

Winston • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

I guess they didnt want to make it LIVE to that any mistakes or controversy can be edited off for broadcast, after all those "scandals" that happen on the show. some agency CEO may ask for their artiste parts to be Edited off if they feel was damaging to their image.

Then it isn't SNL, and not just because it isn't live.

Winston BigBlueagain • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Well if they moved it to another date, say Sunday, does it mean it cant be called Saturday night Live also? I guess, if you look at it that the NAME "Saturday Night Live" is a Brand Name and not because it has to Air on saturday, and at night and Live. then it has no impact. if you take it that SNL has to be ALWAYS on a Saturday, only air at NIGHT and LIVE broadcast. then you can think of it as an issue. I know some schools who name their school after a nearby street, and when they move to another area, some residents also complain, "Then they should be called XYZ Primary school if they aint on XYZ Street" but they cant change the name of the building or school just because it relocated.

That's kinda my point. SNL is a brand... and this kinda action isn't the brand. (shrugs)

snl literally be like

Jojo_Dancer • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Pretty much like the US version which hasn't been live for years.

BakaKaori Jojo_Dancer • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

SNL does air live in the US. In the past, it only used to air live in Eastern and Central times while it was delayed for Mountain and Western times zones. But that changed earlier this year. I think that there might be a few pre-taped segments, but for the most part everything happens live.

Then the L loses all meaning

BigBlueagain manupecks • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Not necessarily. I can stand for "Loser" now.

liviekate • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

..... saturday night live..... isn't going to be... live.....

nymeria24 • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Thebirth nymeria24 • Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Don't forget about night, that is if they pre-record at night.

nymeria24 Thebirth • Wednesday, June 14, 2017
