An eruption of positive results for Corona among the cast and crew at the Saturday Night Live studio has disrupted the great joy planned for the festive Christmas episode.
"We all planned a special episode, but the Corona was ahead of us this year and as a precaution we have no audience, we released the ensemble of players and most of the crew to their homes, but I'm here - because if you thought I flew all the way from California Tom Hanks, who happened to be pre-booked as a surprise guest for an episode hosted by actor Paul Rudd and which was to feature British pop singer Charlie XCX.
The graduate of the show, Tina Fey, was also among the surprising guests scheduled for the gala broadcast, which fortunately was on the set and joined Hanks in the opening segment on the standard of another member of the exclusive club of those who have hosted the show at least five times. "I'm very disappointed."
A few hours before the regular live broadcast of the Christmas episode of the old sketch show, NBC announced that "due to the recent sharp rise of the Omicron variant and out of a deep need for caution, the show will take place without a live audience in the studio and with a limited number of actors and crew. "Government safety guidelines, in addition to rigorous rigorous inspections."
Even before the official announcement, there were rumors of some positive Corona results that made more contestants reluctant to come to the set and eventually made the decision to pick up a slightly different broadcast, with pre-filmed sketches and also some nostalgic ones from the past joining the studio to shoot the transitions.
"A bit like a documentary series about the Beetles, with new archival material but also excerpts we've already seen," Rudd explained.
