Saturday Night Live bil Arabi
Saturday Night Live Arabic (Arabic: ساترداي نايت لايف بالعربي), commonly known as SNL Arabia, is an Egyptian late-night sketch comedy and variety television program broadcast on OSN Ya Hala HD.[1] It is the Arab world's edition of the long-running American TV show Saturday Night Live on NBC. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast as with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "from Cairo, it's Saturday Night Live in Arabic" (Arabic: من القاهرة، ساترداي نايت لايف بالعربي), properly beginning the show.[2]
