In the wake of the death of cultural icon Prince, a cultural institution - Saturday Night Live - has stepped up to honor him with a tribute special.
On April 22, the series took to Instagram to announce that a special, in honor of Prince, will air during the series' regular time slot of 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 23.
The special - titled Goodnight Sweet Prince, according to SNL's website - will not replace a new episode of the series, as it is currently on a short hiatus before returning with host Brie Larson on May 7, which Larson announced earlier this week.
