Le Saturday Night Live is a Frenchlate-night live television comedy show, an adaptation of the American showSaturday Night Live. It is produced by the channelM6 and first broadcast on 5 January 2017.
The format mirrors that ofSaturday Night Live, featuring an opening monologue, live and recorded sketches, and musical performances. Unlike its American counterpart,Le Saturday Night Live is not broadcast weekly, but is to be limited to three to four shows per year.[1] The pilot episode attracted 3.8 million viewers and was hosted by the comedian and actorGad Elmaleh; other performers includedJamel Debbouze,Malik Bentalha andGérard Darmon.[1]
Reviewing the first episode,Le Monde called it a "perfectible success", generating more laughter than any other French comedy show despite performances of varying quality.[2]Le Point, on the other hand, criticized the show as "badly written and not always well acted (...) sometimes pleasing, often annoying", noting that it lacked the professional team working full-time on the American show.[1]
