Maya Rudolph and Jake Gyllenhaal Host Saturday Night Live's Final Season 49 Episodes

May 18, 2024 will mark Saturday Night Live's season finale, wrapping a strong Season 49 — and the final two Hosts have just been announced. One was a beloved SNL cast member from 2000-2007, returning many times since to play a certain Vice President. The other is also a previous Host who stars in two high-profile remakes in 2024. And both SNL episodes promise incredible Musical Guests, too.

Sabrina Carpenter will make her SNL debut as Musical Guest, fresh off her stint as a 2024 Coachella performer. The singer and actress earned her first Billboard top 10 hit with her latest single, "Espresso," following the success of her song "Feather." In the SNL finale, you might say Carpenter will be working late, 'cause she's a singer. 

“Saturday Night Live” is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
