@beyondthescreencast: While American audiences might only now be discovering Fouracres, the British comedian has already established himself as one of SNL UK's biggest names. His appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers offers a glimpse of what the growing relationship between the two shows could mean, not just for the franchise, but for the British performers who now have an opportunity to reach a much bigger audience. However despite "Donald Trump" making an appearance in the British version the week before, the original Saturday Night Live did not return the favour of a crossover on Halloween despite having one of the biggest stars in the room 🇺🇸🇬🇧 Having Fouracres cross over to SNL could introduce a new generation of British comedy talent to an established American audience. With SNL UK available on Peacock in the US a day after its broadcast, that exposure could also encourage American viewers to explore the original British show rather than treating it as a separate adaptation. This could pave the way for further swaps too. Larry Dean could bring his King Charles III impression to American SNL, while Ramy Youssef could potentially bring Zohran Mamdani to the British series. Even Marcello Hernández's much-loved Domingo could make an appearance overseas. The potential for shared laughs endless! These collaborations would benefit the performers as much as the shows themselves. Exposure to new audiences could help individual cast members build international followings, attract opportunities for live performances and tours, and open doors to other television projects. An appearance by Fouracres' on SNL could have therefore provided more than giving American viewers a new comedian to discover - it would have helped establish British cast members as recognisable names in their own right. - via.
