Saturday Night Live: Jason Momoa Returns for Second Hosting Stint
Jason Momoa returns to 30 Rock for his second time hosting Saturday Night Live on Saturday, November 18.
Tonight's edition of Saturday Night Live is the second straight new episode of November. Jason Momoa is set to host the episode, which will be his second time standing in the head role at Studio 8H. He previously hosted a Season 44 episode on December 8, 2018. Joining the Aquaman alumnus as musical guest is Tate McRae, the budding popstar making her stop at 30 Rock.
The November 18th episode is the last new episode before a week-long Thanksgiving hiatus, giving the cast and crew of the live sketch comedy time to go home and spend time with their families. Things will then reconvene with new episodes beginning Saturday, December 2nd. So far, NBC has announced three December episodes (December 2nd, December 9th, and December 16th) before Christmas. Hosts and musical guests for those episodes have yet to be announced.
"Here's my generation, this is when I was raised," Momoa previously said of his hosting debut in 2018. "Right there, Chris Farley and Adam Sandler, Oh my God. He also pointed out Tracy Morgon, then proceeded to head out onto the main stage and surprise some who were sitting in the stands with a shout and some claps. He then stood on the stage and as he ran off he said home sweet home.
