first is Bad Bunny, who kicks things off Oct. 4. Coming off his
own historic residency in Puerto Rico, which ends Saturday, the
music superstar and, of late, actor won't be the musical guest,
though; Doja Cat will make her debut in that slot on his
episode. This is Bad Bunny's second time hosting the sketch
show. He also performed at the “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,”
appeared in a sketch during the anniversary special and was the
final musical guest of the season.
“Saturday Night Live” alumna Poehler will host the second
episode, on Oct. 11, alongside first-time musical guest Role
Model. Her episode will air 50 years to the day of the very
first episode of “Saturday Night Live,” on Oct. 11, 1975. It's
her second time hosting alone, and third time hosting overall.
The “SNL” mainstay appeared throughout the anniversary
celebrations, including a memorable audience Q&A session
alongside Tina Fey.
Carpenter is pulling double duty as host and musical guest Oct.
18. It's her first time hosting and second time as musical
guest, but she, too, was a fixture of the anniversary
celebrations, opening the show with a duet with Paul Simon and
appearing in a sketch.
When “SNL” returns, the cast will look different: On the heels
of several high-profile departures, including Ego Nwodim and
Devon Walker, five new featured players are joining.
The show picked up 12 Emmys this month for its 50th season and
anniversary programming, including an award for outstanding
variety special during the main telecast on Sunday.
“I won this award for the first time 50 years ago, in 1975,”
Michaels said, accepting the Emmy, adding that he didn't dream
of doing the same show for the next 50 years.
