Sunday Night Now (SNN) is a Zamastanian late-night live sketch comedy variety show created and currently directed by Charlie Kelly. The show's comedy sketches, which often parody contemporary Zamastanian culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members. Each episode, as the name suggests, is hosted on a Sunday by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast, with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that was usually based on political events and ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "From Tofino, it's Sunday Night Now!", properly beginning the show. While most episodes are broadcasted hours after recording, several editions per season are broadcast live to accommodate for other programming (namely ZSL and ZBL events), with the live episodes often drawing less audience but higher ratings due to the tendency for humorous gaffes and character breaks during sketches.
Airing on average 19-20 episodes per season, SNN is one of the longest running television shows in Zamastan and in the world. The show format has been developed and recreated in several countries, meeting with different levels of success, such as Lissatha Tomorrow!.
