   of Games" quiz show, but otherwise I've never heard of any of them.  :-\   
      
      
       'SNL' U.K. Unveils Comedians Set for Inaugural Cast   
       ---------------------------------------------------   
       Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring,   
       George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash,   
       Jack Shep, Emma Sidi and Paddy Young are the comedians who are   
       set to welcome audiences with the iconic line, "Live from   
       London, it's Saturday Night!"   
      
       The writers are still to be announced.   
      
       The first-ever U.K. version of the NBC comedy staple is set to   
       premiere live on March 21 on Sky, with the aim of putting a   
       British spin on the beloved U.S. show. Like its American   
       counterpart, the U.K. version will have a guest host each week   
       alongside a musical guest and even a British take on "Weekend   
       Update." It will also include an opening monologue and topical   
       sketches, all in front of a live studio audience.   
      
       "The U.K. is absolutely packed with incredible comedy talent   
       right now and this cast represents the freshest voices we have,   
       they're bold, exciting and of course, incredibly funny," said   
       producer James Longman. "The chemistry between them is something   
       special and we can't wait to share this funny group of people   
       with the world."   
      
       Sky's executive director of unscripted originals Phil Edgar   
       Jones added: OBE, Executive Director, Unscripted Originals, Sky   
       said: "We all need a laugh like never before, so we're beyond   
       excited to bring 'Saturday Night Live' to the U.K., only   
       50 short years after it first launched in the U.S. The show's   
       long-standing legacy of discovering and nurturing outstanding   
       comedy talent speaks for itself, and this U.K. version will   
       build on that legacy with the support of Lorne Michaels, a   
       brilliant local production team, and an exciting new generation   
       of voices. Saturday nights are looking bright!"
