Is Saturday Night Live New Tonight, October 12, 2024? Host and Musical Guest
Is Saturday Night Live new tonight or a repeat? Here's everything to know about the October 12, 2024 episode.
On October 5, stand-up comic Nate Bargatze returned to host Saturday Night Live, following his October 2023 debut. The episode featured a sequel to Bargatze's "Washington's Dream" sketch, and had Marcello Hernández as Don Francisco in a parody of the classic Sabado Gigante variety show.
The cold open brought back Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, and Dana Carvey for a parody of the Vice Presidential debate. There was also a new SNL Digital Short, "Sushi Glory Hole," which marked the surprise reunion of two-thirds of comedy trio The Lonely Island. The Musical Guest was Coldplay, who performed songs from their latest album, Moon Music.
Since SNL has been new the past two weekends, you might be wondering if Saturday Night Live is new this week.

Who is this week's SNL Host?
Ariana Grande.
This will be the second time the Eternal Sunshine singer has hosted SNL. Grande made her hosting debut on March 12, 2016, when she pulled double duty as both Host and Musical Guest, following a turn as Musical Guest in 2014. Her most recent SNL appearance was when she was the Musical Guest for Josh Brolin's Season 49 SNL episode, where she acted in two sketches.
Grande — along with SNL cast member Bowen Yang — star in the film adaptation of Wicked, which flies into theaters on November 22.

Who is the Musical Guest?
Stevie Nicks.
It has been more than 40 years since the singer and Fleetwood Mac legend last enchanted SNL viewers. As Musical Guest on December 10, 1983, she performed "Stand Back" and "Nightbird" from her second solo album, The Wild Heart, and who knows what kind of magical spell she'll cast this time around. Sounds like the perfect time to make a return visit to Stevie Nicks' Fajita Roundup.
On September 27, Nicks released her newest single, "The Lighthouse," a powerful women's rights anthem she wrote after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
