SNL UK kicked off with its first ever episode on Saturday, hosted by SNL veteran Tina Fey herself — but some people, including Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, had questions about why an American was hosting.
“That is a valid question,” says Fey in the monologue above. “Why an American host? And the way it was explained to me was that, for this first episode anyway, how do I put this politely: none of you fuckers would do it.”
Coughlan isn’t the only audience member to chime in, either. There’s also Michael Cera and Graham Norton, with the latter joining Fey on stage to ask her a few cue card questions.
“Let me help you,” whispers Norton. “I have a gift for making American celebrities likeable to a British audience.”
Elsewhere, you can also watch the first ever cold open mocking UK prime minister Keir Starmer — which was later shared by Donald Trump.
