Broadcast

In most markets the scheduling of the series at 11 p.m. ET/PT, 10 p.m. CT/MT means it would have, specifically by producer's preference, not have gone against Saturday Night Live (the other half-hour of Fox's late night timeslot will carry a repeat of Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life ), with the members of The Lonely Island receiving the blessing of SNL creator Lorne Michaels to bring the show forward under that condition. [7] [8] However, in markets where the local Fox affiliate carries a late local newscast at 11 p.m ET./10 p.m. CT, the series was delayed to air within the first half-hour of SNL.
