Is Saturday Night Live new this week? Here's everything you need to know about April 13's episode.
Spring has arrived, and along with the warmer weather, we're barreling toward the finale of SNL Season 49. Not to worry, though: There's still a slew of fresh episodes in store before the show's hardworking cast and crew goes on summer hiatus!
It's been a strong back half of the season, as the show's welcomed a wide array of talent as Hosts, from actor-comedians like Ayo Edibiri and Ramy Youssef to Euphoria's Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney. And last week, the Five-Timers Club got a new member when SNL legend Kristen Wiig tried on her velvety new jacket with help from fellow Five-Timer Paul Rudd, Martin Short, Jon Hamm, and former cast members Will Forte and Fred Armisen.
Following Wiig's triumphant return, you may be wondering whether this week brings another new episode.
Below, all the info on who's hosting this week's SNL, and whether it's a repeat.

Who's hosting SNL this week?
Ryan Gosling!
Gosling is hosting for his third time. The three-time Academy Award nominee earned his most recent Oscar nod for his role as Ken in Barbie, delivering a viral performance of Best Original Song nominee "I'm Just Ken" at the 2024 awards show in March.
This spring, Gosling stars opposite Oppenheimer's Emily Blunt in The Fall Guy, an action-romance film loosely based on the 1980s TV series of the same name. The movie premieres on May 3.
April 6's Musical Guest will be Chris Stapleton.

Three alien abductees share *wildly* differing experiences in this sketch from Gosling's first SNL.
"Another Close Encounter"

"Levi's Wokes"
Gosling channels his inner cool guy (his easiest acting challenge ever?) in this faux denim ad.
"Weekend Update: Guy Who Just Bought a Boat on Dating"
