Saturday Night Live: 2016-17 Season to Have 30% Fewer Commercials

Saturday Night Live TV show on NBC: Seinfeld "Elaine and Bernie Sanders" sketch

Prepare for more commercial parodies and fewer actual commercials on Saturday Night Live. Today, NBC announced there will be 30% fewer commercials during the sketch series in the 2016-2017 season.

The change comes after years of increasing advertisement time.

From SNL creator Lorne Michaels:

As the decades have gone by, commercial time has grown. Saturday Night Live. This will give time back to the show and make it easier to watch the show live.”
