I hope Carrey plays Biden like his Mask character.

You can get the entire series on Peacock or something close to it
https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/sat...ng-1234783822/
The entire “Saturday Night Live” library is making its way back to streaming. All 45 seasons of the series (so far) will be available on NBCUniversal’s Peacock platform starting Oct. 1.
NBCU had previously announced that the “SNL” library could be found on Peacock. But when the streaming service launched this summer, only episodes from the past five seasons were available, along with certain “Best of” compilations from older years.
More “SNL” has been available on Hulu, where Seasons 1-5 and then 30-45 are available, leaving out the show’s 1980s and 1990s (and first five years of the 2000s) episodes.
The full “SNL” library was available on Netflix and Hulu in the early 2010s; later, Yahoo briefly had a deal to house the show’s library, including a catalog of the show’s sketches. A briefly lived “SNL” app did the same thing, according to a recounting by Vulture of “SNL’s” tumultuous life on streaming, where it has ping-ponged between services, but has mostly been unavailable as a complete package.
The full “SNL” library hasn’t been available for viewers to stream since Seeso, NBCU’s brief attempt at a comedy-centric streaming service, shut down in 2017.
Peacock has already been offering a mix of “SNL” episodes on “SNL Vault,” one of the offerings in its Channels section. “SNL Vault” programs a jukebox assortment of old “SNL” episodes throughout the day.
It’s unclear whether the Peacock episodes will include musical performances, or certain short films (including the music-filled “SNL Digital Short” films done by the Lonely Island comedy troupe). As the Vulture story noted, those segments are missing in some of the episodes that have been streaming.

They really did underutilize the genius of Chris Rock in the 90s, but that was the "Murderer's Row" SNL lineup with Farley, Hartman, Myers, Carvey, Sandler, Spade, et al. There just wasn't enough time in the show to showcase everyone all the time.
That said, I would have enjoyed a few more "I'm Chillin'" or "The Dark Side with Nat X" than another "makin' copies...." outing.

So, now that the POTUS has COVID-19,
and if you're Lorne Michaels, do you drop all of the jokes that were written for Alec Baldwin and Jost/Che this week because it's in bad taste now, considering the circumstances?
All politics aside.

Yeah, Nat X was a great send-up of militant black culture AND Late Night with David Letterman. Making those two concepts work together was pretty genius.
I didn't realize this is NOT Rock's first time hosting.
I'm Chillin' was a great recurring sketch too. "This week our new sponsor is F'd Up Malt Liquor". Kinda surprised they got away with that one, well, at least until Jingleheimer Junction.
Onski: Yo homeboy, guess what time it is!
B-Fat: Time to bust a rhyme?
Onski: Nah
B-Fat: Time to drink the wine?
Onski: Nah nah
B-Fat: Time for Gertrude Stein?
Onski: What?

Plenty of other shows are back in their studios. They will just have to take more precaution due to the nature of the show.
There will be an audience too. I got notification for tickets being available the other day.

I wonder why Last Week Tonight still comes from the "giant white void". Is it because it's safer or because John Oliver makes it work?

With Megan the Stallion present there’s actually more concern about gonorrhea than COVID.

I keep meaning to take the pre-season talk in this thread to a new thread but then I remember I'm not a TV mod and then I forget to tell them. So I'll post this and report the post!
