Wet Leg Slays ‘Moisturizer’ Tracks on ‘SNL UK’ Series Premiere

Live from London, it’s Saturday Night Live!

The iconic sketch comedy franchise made its United Kingdom debut on March 21 with Saturday Night Live UK, tapping SNL alum Tina Fey as host and English indie rock band Wet Leg as the musical guest.

The international spinoff of Lorne Michaels’ long-running NBC hit opened with Fey’s monologue, which featured surprise appearances from Michael Cera and British talk show host Graham Norton.

“It’s an absolute honour and kind of historic,” Fey told the audience. “Guys, I am the youngest person to ever host SNL UK!”

Later in the episode, Wet Leg performed two tracks from the band’s sophomore album Moisturizer, which debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart and reached No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart.

The group first took the stage with the album’s fourth single, “Mangetout,” a Grammy-nominated track that also landed on Billboard’s list of the 20 best U.K. and Ireland songs of 2025. They returned later with a performance of the lead single, “Catch These Fists.”

Following their SNL UK appearance, Wet Leg will head back to the U.S. for a run of major festival appearances, including Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. The band’s U.S. tour is set to launch April 15 at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California.

SNL UK has also lined up its next two episodes. Wolf Alice will perform on the March 28 show hosted by Jamie Dornan, followed by Kasabian on the April 2 episode with host Riz Ahmed.

The series airs on Sky in the U.K. and streams on Peacock in the U.S. The debut episode drew more than 220,000 viewers on Sky, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It became available in the U.S. on March 22 through Peacock.
