Jorja Smith to Perform on 'SNL UK' with Jack Whitehall

'Saturday Night Live UK' is set to continue its debut season with Jorja Smith as the musical guest. The British artist, known for her talent and success in the music industry, will share the stage with host Jack Whitehall. Smith, 28, is preparing for a major co-headline show this summer at All Points East alongside Tems. Smith's performance is scheduled for next weekend, April 11.

Sky’s U.K. iteration of the iconic live sketch show first hit screens earlier this month, with Wet Leg and Tina Fey in the first episode. The following week welcomed Jamie Dornan and Wolf Alice.

Smith rose to prominence with her 2018 debut album 'Lost & Found', which earned her a BRIT Award for British female solo artist and a Mercury Prize nomination. Her second album, 'Falling Or Flying', released in 2023, reached No. 3 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. Since then, she has remained a fixture on major festival stages, including a performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2025. Smith also recently released a standalone track, 'Price Of It All', which features in the Amazon Prime original series 'Bait'.

London-raised comedian Whitehall is best known for his work on the sitcom 'Bad Education' and travel-based stand-up series 'Travels With My Father'.

Whitehall has hosted The BRIT Awards six times – more than any other presenter– including this year’s edition at the Co-op Live in Manchester. 'SNL UK' shares many of the components of its famous American counterpart, with each 75-minute episode including an opening monologue, topical sketches, live music and a British take on SNL’s satirical news segment, Weekend Update. The series has premiered to mixed reviews from critics in the U.K., though its first series was recently extended to eight episodes from six.

This weekend, British rock band Kasabian will hit the 'SNL UK' studios for a performance, while actor Riz Ahmed is lined up for hosting duties. Viewers can watch the episode live on Sky One at 10 p.m. GMT before it drops in the U.S. the following day at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Peacock. 'SNL UK' features a cast of up-and-coming British comedy actors and comedians, including Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi, Paddy Young and more.
