What's On Tonight (Saturday): SNL M

Saturday Night Live

Cause you know I'd watch a thousand episodes, if I could just see you, tonight! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 31!

Our Top Pick tonight is Saturday Night Live (NBC & Peacock, 11:29 p.m.). The 50-year-old sketch comedy show reaches the 1,000 episode milestone tonight. This count doesn't include specials, just the regular weekly episodes. To reach that many episodes, you can combine SCTV, Fridays, Mad TV, The Kids in the Hall, Party Over Here, Saturday Night Special, and those Animation Domination in the early 2010s and still not have enough.

Elsewhere, Queens of the Stone Age goes to the Limits, Kingdom has mom issues, Hallmark isn't on a Boat, Nimesh Patel has News, Lifetime gets Tempted, and One Piece is not alone.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
