Is Saturday Night Live New Tonight, October 26, 2024? Host and Musical Guest
Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, or a repeat? Here's the details on the October 26 episode.
The 50th season of Saturday Night Live is off to a smashing start, with four back-to-back episodes delivering viral sketches and surprise cameos — including the return of SNL alums Maya Rudolph, Dana Carvey, and Andy Samberg to play Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff alongside Jim Gaffigan's Tim Walz and Bowen Yang's J.D. Vance in the 2024 election-themed cold opens.
For Season 50, SNL's also welcomed three new faces to its cast, Emil Wakim, Ashley Padilla, and Jane Wickline. And the September 28 premiere marked another Studio 8H first, when comedy icon Jean Smart made her hosting debut.
Return Hosts Nate Bargatze, Ariana Grande, and Michael Keaton crushed their episodes — we still can't get the Domingo version of "Espresso" out of our heads from Grande's viral sketch — alongside incredible Musical Guests like Jelly Roll and Billie Eilish.
