SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
NBC, 11:30 p.m. ET
…And speaking of last-minute replacements. Bill Burr, that very caustic and funny comedian, was scheduled to host tonight’s second SNL of the new season – and he still will. But tonight’s scheduled musical guest, country artist Morgan Wallen, was disinvited, after videos surfaced of him partying recently without social distancing or masks. His probable replacement, according to reports: Jack White. Meanwhile, I hope the SNL writers and producers have heard the recent Twitter buzz about that fly on Mike Pence’s head during the vice presidential debate – and the gathering-momentum plea to have that fly portrayed, in a sketch tonight on SNL, by Jeff Goldblum, who starred in the remake of The Fly in 1986. It’s a stupendous idea… and I’m hoping, against hope, it comes true.
