synopsis
Debuting June 1, 1996 on London Weekend Television, Saturday Live was a revival of the popular '80s British comedy series of the same name. As before, the program offered a cornucopia of standup comedy and satirical sketches. This time, however, with the exception of host Lee Hurst, there were no regular performers, merely a parade of guest comics. The eighth and final 60-minute installment of the "new" Saturday Live was seen on July 20, 1996.
