English indie rock band Wet Leg served as the musical guest on the March 21 debut of Saturday Night Live UK, hosted by Tina Fey. The band played two tracks from their sophomore album Moisturizer. The episode aired on Sky in the UK and became available on Peacock in the US.
Saturday Night Live UK premiered on March 21 with SNL alum Tina Fey as host and Wet Leg as the musical guest. The show opened with Fey's monologue, featuring appearances from Michael Cera and British talk show host Graham Norton. Fey remarked, “It’s an absolute honour and kind of historic. Guys, I am the youngest person to ever host SNL UK!” One source also mentions Derry Girls actress Nicola Coughlan joining them in the monologue. Sources differ on the exact guests present beyond Cera and Norton, but all confirm Fey hosted the debut from London, as noted in one report: “Live from London, it’s Saturday Night Live!” Later, Wet Leg performed “Mangetout,” the album’s fourth single and a Grammy-nominated track that appeared on Billboard’s list of the 20 best U.K. and Ireland songs of 2025, followed by the lead single “Catch These Fists.” Moisturizer, Wet Leg’s 2025 sophomore album, debuted at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart and No. 6 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. It earned three Grammy nominations, including Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance, and ranked on year-end lists such as Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Albums of 2025 (No. 36 on Pitchfork’s 50 Best). The debut episode drew more than 220,000 viewers on Sky, per The Hollywood Reporter, and streams on Peacock in the US. Upcoming episodes feature Jamie Dornan hosting with Wolf Alice on March 28, and Riz Ahmed with Kasabian on April 2 or 4, per varying reports. Wet Leg plans US festival appearances at Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Outside Lands, with a tour starting April 15 at Fox Theater in Pomona, California.
