The NBC comedy show will air remotely produced content at its usual Saturday time slot on the broadcast network, a surprise return from its coronavirus-induced hiatus, according to a spokesperson for NBC.
NBC is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.
The show will include a version of "Weekend Update" and other skits from cast members, though it was not immediately clear if the performances would be live. It will air at 11:30 p.m. ET.
SNL, like most major broadcast shows that features guests and audiences, has been on hiatus since mid-March.
The show has also had to deal with the death of a longtime producer, Hal Willner, who passed away from coronavirus complications. Willner worked on SNL since 1980 where he helped select music for sketches.

She is one of the best members of the cast, next to Kate McKinnon. Her impression of Jeanine Pirro is hilarious! 
It would take a lot of heart to try something which will be this hard. They deserve to be commended, whether it's a great show or not.
