Is Saturday Night Live New Tonight, October 19, 2024? Host and Musical Guest
Is Saturday Night Live new tonight or a repeat? Here's everything to know about the October 19, 2024 episode.
Last week, on October 12, Ariana Grande returned to host a Wicked-ly good episode of Saturday Night Live.
Not only did the Eternal Sunshine singer show off her comedy chops, she also revived her spot-on impersonations of Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, and pulled out an impressive impression of Jennifer Coolidge. Grande also managed to sing a hilariously off-key parody of "Espresso" in the "Bridesmaid Speech" sketch.
As for the episode's cold open, Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, Jim Gaffigan, and Dana Carvey returned to play Kamala Harris, Doug Emhoff, Tim Walz, and President Joe Biden in an Election 2024 edition of the classic game show, Family Feud.
The Musical Guest was Fleetwood Mac legend Stevie Nicks, who made her triumphant return to SNL for the first time in more than 40 years. Nicks performed her new single, "The Lighthouse" and the classic track "Edge of Seventeen," from her debut solo album, Bella Donna.
Since SNL has been new the past three weekends, you might be wondering if Saturday Night Live is new this week.
