Watch the video here.īest of Both Worlds. Perhaps one of the most fun moments of this season was Jimmy Fallon’s opening monologue from last December, in which Fallon pulled out a guitar and sang a version of the Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” running around back stage and dancing with the whole cast on stage. Hopefully that’ll encourage you to watch SNL as it’s meant to be experienced: on television, live, and at a low enough volume so your neighbors don’t wake up and catch you watching their TV.
And considering a large number of Splitsider readers watch SNL on Hulu, I feel obligated to share with you some of what you’re missing out on. Over the past two seasons, frequently the best sketches of the night happen to feature a licensed song that keeps them offline. And in the past, these sketches haven’t been particularly memorable.Įxcept very recently, that is. We also try our best in our recaps to track down versions of the missing sketches on sites like YouTube before NBC forces the uploaders to take them down.

It’s just one sketch per episode, after all - well worth getting the rest of the episode for free the day after it airs. So any part of the show that would complicate negotiations with record labels should it be posted online is removed from the version of the episode on Hulu. NBC has to pay a large amount of money to get the rights to use a copyrighted song in a sketch, and that amount increases significantly if that sketch will be posted online (NBC’s website and sites like Hulu, which has a contract with NBC).
The reasons usually concern music licensing. While recapping Saturday Night Live episodes for the past year or so, it has come to my attention that Hulu - the primary source for SNL viewers who watch episodes online (an increasing number of people under 30, it turns out) - typically leaves out a sketch or two when it uploads an episode.
