SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET
SEASON FINALE: This just in, as they say… NBC has just announced that Saturday Night Live will be ending its current season with tonight’s episode. Usually, the show runs through May, but this third “At Home” edition, presenting sketches and musical guests and a guest host, all performing from separate, isolated home locations, will be this series’ final original production until fall. Previous “At Home” installments were broadcast on April 11 (hosted by Tom Hanks) and April 25 (hosted by Brad Pitt). And in the fall, if Saturday Night Live returns, there may be a fourth such installment. Let’s hope not… but it seems increasingly likely. Meanwhile, tonight’s finale is one not to miss, for sure. And it puts to bed Season 45 of TV’s longest-running entertainment show. And speaking of long-running… since I broke into the professional TV critic business with a review of the premiere of Saturday Night Live, that means that I, too, am close to wrapping up 45 years doing this. I’d throw a party – but who’d come? And even if they did, would I let them in?
