Is Saturday Night Live New Tonight, August 17, 2024? Host and Musical Guest
Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, or is it a repeat? Here's everything to know about the August 17 episode's Host and Musical Guest.
Saturday Night Live had a stellar 49th season — and over the past several weeks, you likely spotted some familiar SNL faces if you watched NBC's coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
SNL Season 49 cast members Mikey Day, Marcello Hernández, Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner were part of the Olympics celebration in Paris. Colin Jost landed the coveted job of being the surfing correspondent at the Summer Games, though the "Weekend Update" anchor left Tahiti with some gnarly toe injuries thanks to close contact with some coral reef.
Since SNL's season finale on May 18, aside from appearing at the Olympics, the cast and crew also received critical nods from the Television Academy. The show earned 18 Emmy nominations for the 2023-2024 season, including Outstanding Scripted Variety Series. SNL cast members and Hosts also received recognition for standout work, with Bowen Yang nominated for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Maya Rudolph earned a nom in Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her hosting gig on May 11, and Kristen Wiig was nominated in the same category for her April 6 episode. April 13 Host Ryan Gosling also received a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, which also happened to be the highest-rated episode of the 2023-2024 season.
Last week, on August 10, SNL was pre-empted for the final night of the Olympics — so with the Games now over, is SNL new tonight?

Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, August 17, 2024?
No.
NBC will re-air the SNL October 28, 2023 episode hosted by stand-up comic Nate Bargatze with Musical Guest Foo Fighters. This episode is notable for featuring "Washington's Dream," written by Mikey Day and SNL co-head writer Streeter Seidell, which Seth Meyers deemed a "perfect sketch."
As SNL heads into its 50th(!) season in fall 2024, mark your calendars for another big night celebrating moments from the show's long and storied history: A three-hour primetime special is coming on Sunday, February 16, on NBC.
