Saturday Night Live has their own version of the show in Japan now. The Japanese spinoff is airing monthly with elements similar to its US counterpart. The nationally televised show uses the format we’re used to in the US with set designs and famous entertainers as guest hosts. Take a peek at the opening sequence. It’s uncanny how close it is to the US version.
