SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
February 6, 2021  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

 
Another new episode, and a very significant one. Dan Levy of Schitt’s Creek is the guest host – something his dad, Schitt’s co-star Eugene Levy, never got to do, though he and John Candy did pop up for a cameo in one SNL installment back in 1985. When SNL was in its early glory days in the late 1970s, of course, so were Eugene Levy and Candy — and another Schitt's co-star, Catherine O'Hara — as founding members of a competing sketch variety series, the brilliant Second City TV, a.k.a. SCTV. Maybe it’s too much to hope that Dan Levy brings along his dad for another cameo, but I’m hoping anyway: After all, one SNL cameo every 35 years or so doesn’t seem to be pushing it. The musical guest tonight, by the way, is another SNL first-timer: Phoebe Bridgers.
