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!"
