Sky's Saturday Night Live UK have reportedly chosen iconic American comedian Tina Fey over home grown talent to host its March 21 launch.
The British version of the long running American sketch show, will be broadcast live every week and bring 'the high-wire, anything-can-happen energy that makes SNL a cultural force, now reimagined through a distinctly British lens'.
Viewers will be treated to a new guest host who will be joined by a chart-topping musical guest each week.
But despite its vow to stay true to blighty, Tina, 55, who previously served as head writer and performer on the US version, has been tapped as the very first presenter.
A source said: 'Though there might be some surprise to find there isn't a Brit presenting the show, there is some logic to this signing.
'There's a sense that the American show is handing the baton on to Britain by having Tina hosting the launch. Plus she's a massive icon in the world of comedy and proof of how huge someone can become through appearing on SNL'.

They told The Sun: 'From here on, there are likely to be stars from the UK at the helm every week, though the exact names have yet to be confirmed'.
Daily Mail have contacted Sky and Tina Fey's representatives for comment.
Tina found fame on the US series in 1997, before being catapulted to worldwide fame for her impersonation of US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in 2008.
She later moved into movies, writing and starred in the iconic Mean Girls, which she adapted into a Broadway musical.
The news comes following bookies Coral's bitter blow to show with odds of 1-2 for it to be scrapped after the first series.
Coral's John Hill said: 'We are not optimistic about Saturday Night Live UK lasting very long.
