Make Decider a Preferred Source Photo: Peacock More On: Peacock Does Peacock Offer a Free Trial or Student Discount? ‘Saturday Night Live’ Sketch of the Night: Ashley Padilla’s Natalie Harp Threatens Mamdani ‘Obsession’-Style Is ‘Saturday Night Live’ New Tonight? Return Date, First Four Hosts For ‘SNL’ Season 52 ‘The Traitors: New Blood’ Player and MLB Analyst Xavier Scruggs Says He’s Rooting For the Contestant Who Booted Him From the Game: “I Hope Katie Wins” Peacock may very well be the perfect cure for streaming malaise. Not only does the platform offer a variety of live sports and originals (The Paper, Poker Face, The Five-Star Weekend, and All Her Fault, just to name a few), but your favorite NBC shows are available for next-day streaming.
