Saturday Night Live bil Arabi (Arabic: ساترداي نايت لايف بالعربي) also known as Saturday Night Live - In Arabic is an Egyptian late-night sketch comedy and variety television program broadcast on OSN Yahala HD.[1] It is adapted from 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]
