Watch SNL Online: How to Stream Live Saturday Night at Home Tonight from Anywhere on the Planet

It's time to watch SNL live from your apartment and online from home. Yes, "Saturday Night Live" may seem like a show that has to go off the air due to social distance, but it is not.

Yes, in alphabetical order, Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Feynman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd, Cecily Strong, Kenan Thompson, Melissa Villasenor, and Bowen Yang - will remotely produce an episode of SNL outside the famed halls of Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center.

Announcer Darrell Hammond and creator Lorne Michaels must also be seen.

According to Deadline, the show is "still under consideration," but there will be a "Weekend Update" segment co-anchored by Colin Jost and Michael Choi. The episode may show a different side of Che, who posted on Instagram (which has since been deleted) about how difficult the grieving process was after losing his grandmother to the coronavirus.

Weekend Update makes the most sense to revive, at least outside of the show's monologue, as it is the simplest segment and requires only that each host set up a webcam in his or her apartment and record the call. desus and Mero have been working on a similar format programs have been recording for several weeks.

Other shows produced by Lorne Michaels, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers, are also back on the air.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch SNL online.

If NBC or SNL is not available in your location - but you still want to watch this totally unique episode live - you don't have to be deterred by geofence restrictions. But with the help of a virtual private network (VPN), you can watch SNL from anywhere using the services you have already paid for.

Our favorite VPN is ExpressVPN, which is easy to use, offers fast internet speeds, and is easy to set up for streaming in no time. It also works with virtually any device, including iOS and Android, as well as streaming devices such as Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV. In addition, it is also compatible with gaming consoles such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

In the United States, SNL airs on NBC and begins at 11:30 PM Eastern and Pacific. Yes, those on the West Coast have to wait three hours longer than usual.

If you cut the cord, NBC is available on live TV streaming services, but each may vary depending on your location, see below for details.

Saturday Night Live airs at the ridiculous hour of 4:30 am GMT in the UK, so it is not surprising that people across the pond have to wait.

Annoyingly, SNL in the UK still airs at night on Sky Comedy. It would not surprise me to learn that people watch clips on YouTube instead.

In Canada, "Saturday Night Live" airs at the same time as it does in the U.S., 11:30 PM Eastern on Saturdays | 8:30 PM Pacific, on both Global and NBC.
