‘Saturday Night Live UK’ Finally Takes On Nigel Farage With Cold Open Cameo From Well-Known British Comic
- SNL UK finally tackles Nigel Farage
- Peter Serafinowicz is in on the joke
- A peek into a funny, fictional future
Okay, you guys! We’ve been waiting. And waiting. For Saturday Night Live UK to finally give Nigel Farage the comedy treatment. Well, guess what? It happened!
It took them seven episodes, but they finally got there. British comic Peter Serafinowicz popped up in the cold open. He played Farage, but not just any Farage. This was Farage in the year 2046!
And get this: he’s the Prime Minister. The whole vibe of the sketch was a bit dystopian, but with a really sharp, funny edge. You could just imagine the slightly over-the-top, almost sepia-toned aesthetic of that future.
It’s great when a show can take on big personalities like this. Especially when they can make it feel so natural and, you know, actually funny.
Our Take
We’re so glad SNL UK is finally having some fun with political figures. It’s a classic comedy move! We love seeing how they play with ideas of the future, and Peter Serafinowicz is always a treat. It just goes to show that when you wait for something, it can be totally worth it.
