Fans of Saturday Night Live (SNL) will be disappointed to learn that the iconic sketch comedy show will not be airing on Saturday, November 30, 2024. This follows a series of successful episodes aired in November, raising questions about the scheduling decisions made by NBC. According to NBC Insider, the absence of the show tonight is due to the network’s decision to broadcast the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade special to kick off the holiday season. The special traditionally draws significant viewership, making it a strategic choice for NBC during this time of year. SNL regulars, who have been eagerly preparing for the next episode, now face an unexpected break. Some fans took to social media to express their frustration, with one user commenting, “First Thanksgiving and now SNL? What am I supposed to do tonight?” While there is no specific host or musical guest listed for this week, SNL is expected to return next Saturday, December 7, 2024, with episodes leading into the holiday season. longtime SNL cast member Kenan Thompson hinted in a recent interview, “We can’t wait to bring the holiday spirit to SNL with some surprise guests.”
