SNL UK has arrived and BTS are back!
A British version of the hit sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live debuted last weekend, but how did this historic moment come about? Miranda speaks to SNL writer, Gráinne Maguire, to get all the behind the scenes details.
And BTS, the biggest boy band in the world, are back with a new album 82-date tour. The 4-year hiatus is over and the group is returning to the music scene after serving in the South Korean military. But how did seven young Korean men become an international sensation? Former Glamour editor and super fan Jo Elvin joins Miranda to explain.

Why are we all obsessed with Louis Theroux?
Legendary documentarian Louis Theroux is back with a new Netflix show - and of course we all watched it. But how did Louis become such a beloved cultural figure, especially with young people?
And Liv and Miranda ask - how can a relationship benefit or hurt a celebrity's brand in 2026.
