Saturday Night Live aka SNL fans earlier took to Twitter to share their disappointment after a college football game delayed their SNL episode on November 7 late night. The episode was the first to air after Joe Biden won at the U.S. elections as the President. The SNL episode that aired on Nov 7 saw a Clemson vs Notre Dame college football game to have caused a delay. The episode was one of the most anticipated ones on the SNL after Biden's win as the audience wanted to see SNL's take on Biden's win, as well as because comedian Dave Chappelle was slated to host the show as well. Take a look at the comments SNL fans shared on Twitter after the SNL episode got delayed by 40 minutes due to the college football game.
Saturday Night Live is a late-night American TV sketch comedy show where each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest. Each episode starts with an SNL cold open sketch that ends when one of the cast breaks character and says their popular tag line "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"
Saturday Night Live fans were not happy after the show was delayed this Saturday
On November 7, 2020, SNL aired the sixth episode of its 46th season, however, it was 40-45 minutes late. The episode was hosted by comedian Dave Chappelle with the Foo Fighters band as the musical guests on the SNL episode. The episode did not air as smoothly as the SNL fans would have anticipated, so the angry fans took to Twiter to lash out the college game that started airing instead of SNL for quite a while. This then followed with local news, after which the SNL aired at 12:30 pm slot instead of its usual 11:30 slot. Read on for some interesting tweets that the SNL fans wrote about SNL last night.

Ok, sliiiiiightly annoyed that after everything we went through this week, college football somehow has priority (and audacity) to delay us seeing Saturday Night Live. Cmon!

Literally of all the nights to delay a Saturday Night Live episode...

Leave it to Clemson to ruin a Saturday Night Live we were all looking forward to

Aside from the fact that I have zero interest in college (American) football, this is probably the worst time to delay SNL. Americans have used all their patience on the election and there hasn’t been any time to recover.

Gotta move this Clemson/ND game to another channel for Chappelle on SNL.
