Saturday Night Live Arabic ( Arabic: ساترداي نايت لايف بالعربي), commonly known as SNL Arabia, is an Egyptian late-night sketch comedy and variety television program broadcast on OSN Ya Hala HD. [1] It is the Arab world's edition of the long-running American TV show Saturday Night Live on NBC. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast as with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "from Cairo, it's Saturday Night Live in Arabic" ( Arabic: من القاهرة، ساترداي نايت لايف بالعربي), properly beginning the show. [2]

The weekly program premiered on February 16, 2016, on OSN and aired on 11:30 pm EET. [3] On October 7, 2017, at the beginning of season 4 the show started airing on ONtv. [4] The show was suspended by the Supreme Media Council in February 2018 for containing "sexual implications". [5]
