“Saturday Night Live” has launched a new short-form series on Peacock and YouTube titled “The Rundown.”

In each episode, an “SNL” alum — Dana Carvey, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Bowen Yang and Questlove are early guests — will select a favorite segment from the show’s history and add it to Lorne Michaels’ famous “Rundown” board, building an all-star episode over time. In the first episode, Colin Jost breaks down the time-crunched complexities of writing a cold open, and he puts a favorite on the board — Amy Poehler and Tina Fey’s “Katie Couric Interviews Sarah Palin.”
