'SNL at Home' will include a remote version of “Weekend Update” and “original content” from the show’s cast members

Photo: Saturday Night Live/Twitter Last month, NBC announced that Saturday Night Live would suspend production due to the coronavirus, and until today, the fate of season 45 has been unclear. Now, it looks like the show is adapting to our new socially-distanced time and will air a new episode this weekend — without the live studio audience, of course.
NBC announced in a release today that this Saturday, April 11, SNL will air “remotely produced content” during its usual 11:30 p.m. time slot as the show “practices social distancing.” What you can count on includes a remote version of “Weekend Update” and “original content” from the show’s cast members, but what’s currently unclear is whether the content will air live, feature a host or celebrity cameos, and include a musical-guest performance.
In any case, from the looks of the tweet SNL just shared, it appears that the cast is up to the challenge:
