This is an observation, not a recommendation. Tonight NBC reveals the flaw in presenting its Saturday-night “same-week” prime-time reruns of new late-night episodes of Saturday Night Live. Namely, when the late-night show is in reruns, then the Saturday-night show has nothing new to present. So tonight, we get a cut-down Jeremy Renner / Maroon 5 episode of SNL at 10 p.m. ET, and a repeat Adam Levine / Kendrick Lamar SNL at 11:29 p.m. ET. If you’re going to watch both, especially for the second time, you’d better really, really like Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine.
