Hold on to your sporks, Seattle! It's almost Saturday Night Live!
Ever since the early days of Chevy Chase and Bill Murray, Saturday Night Live has been a pop culture powerhouse. It's the place where we get our dose of celebrity impersonations, hilarious sketches, and of course, those musical performances that leave us both entertained and slightly confused (looking at you, Arcade Fire playing with a full marching band).
But hey, that's what SNL is all about, right? Pushing the boundaries of comedy and keeping us on our toes. And if you're in the Emerald City tonight (or any Saturday night, for that matter), you're probably wondering: when does SNL actually come on in Seattle?
Fear not, fellow Seattlites! We've got you covered. SNL airs live coast-to-coast on NBC, which means you can catch it in Seattle at the same time as folks on the East Coast: 11:30 PM Pacific Time.
But wait, you say, isn't that a bit late for a Saturday night? Well, for us West Coasters, it is. But hey, that's the price we pay for live TV, right? Besides, think of it as an excuse to stay up a little later, raid the fridge for some late-night munchies, and catch all the laughs.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling really ambitious, you can always set your DVR or tune in to the West Coast encore later at 4:00 AM. But let's be honest, who wants to watch Will Ferrell in a toga at 4 in the morning?
Here's a handy dandy cheat sheet to remember:
- Live SNL in Seattle: 11:30 PM Pacific Time on NBC
- SNL West Coast Encore: 4:00 AM Pacific Time (but seriously, who's up then?)
Now get out there, Seattle, and enjoy the show!
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
