But she didn\u2019t have to answer that question by herself. Guest stars from \u201cthe Commonwealth\u201d helped educate both her and the audience about what they could expect from <em>Saturday Night Live UK<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Bridgerton<\/em> star Nicola Coughlan, beloved Canadian Michael Cera, and talk show host Graham Norton all popped up to ask questions and have some fun with Fey as she worked her way through a classic <em>SNL<\/em> style monologue. Coughlan was there to ask the big question: why was an American hosting the first UK episode? The answer was both funny and informative for any American fans tuning in to see how their country\u2019s latest export would translate across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cera\u2019s surprise appearance was just as helpful. He explained to Fey why it was appropriate for a Canadian to appear on <em>SNL UK<\/em>. He also helped highlight there is one f***ing big difference between the two shows.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>SKY TV<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Finally, Norton did what he does best in the studio his own talk show calls home. He got onstage and helped make an American star more likable to a United Kingdom audience. Norton did that by questioning Fey about her own history with UK comedy. That led to her running through a gauntlet of great impressions based on famous British shows.<\/p>\n<div class=\"max-md:faux-bleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex ad-container\" id=\"_R_1bn2kqoqk5elubsnoqdbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_1bn2kqoqk5elubsnoqdbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_1bn2kqoqk5elubsnoqdbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Was it the best monologue in <em>SNL <\/em>(from any country) in the show\u2019s history?
