SitcomsOnline Digest: Could One Day at a Time Move From Netflix to a Linear Network?; Adam Sandler to Host SNL in May

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! We're still in the spring lull where there isn't a lot of news, though we expect to hear a lot about cancellations, renewals, and new fall lineups soon. We're not there yet, though! For now, we've got some news about the attempts to bring back One Day at a Time, some Saturday Night Live related news, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
