For its next couple of episodes, Saturday Night Live UK<\/a> has tapped two of British TV\u2019s most delightful stars to host. Bridgerton<\/a> and Derry Girls actor Nicola Coughlan is set to take the stage on April 25, though she already appeared in the series premiere during Tina Fey\u2019s monologue<\/a>. The actor will be promoting season two of her underrated Channel 4\/Tubi comedy, Big Mood, which premieres on April 18. Coughlan will be joined by Foo Fighters as the musical guest. The rock band\u2019s 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, will be released on April 24.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Up next is The White Lotus breakout Aimee Lou Wood, who, if you recall, had a mild tiff with NBC\u2019s Saturday Night Live last spring after the episode hosted by her co-star, Walton Goggins. She criticized<\/a> Sarah Sherman\u2019s portrayal of her TWL character as \u201cmean and unfunny,\u201d calling out how the sketch poked fun at her appearance. In response, Sherman expressed genuine remorse<\/a>. Looks like all is forgiven, with the new UK version anyway, now that the Sex Education star is heading to the sketch comedy series\u00a0on May 2. British singer Meek, whose single \u201cFabulous\u201d was released in January, will be the musical guest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Besides Fey, the other SNL UK hosts so far have included Bait\u2018s Riz Ahmed, Jamie Dornan, and The \u2018Burbs Jack Whitehall. The musical guests so far have been Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, Kasabian, and Jorja Smith. The show airs live on Sky and is available to watch on Peacock in the U.S. the next day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For its next couple of episodes, Saturday Night Live UK has tapped two of British TV\u2019s most delightful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391805,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,411],"class_list":["post-391804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
