Saturday Night Live Features Sydney Sweeney in Hosting Debut
Sydney Sweeney makes her SNL hosting debut tonight, March 2nd.
Saturday Night Live is back again with another new episode. The edition airing live from 30 Rock on Saturday, March 2nd features the hosting debut of Sydney Sweeney, the rising star of recent releases like Madame Web and Anyone But You. As with all episodes this season, the episode will simultaneously stream on both NBC and Peacock, allowing cord cutters to stream it live. Although it's Sweeney's first time taking the stage at Studio 8H, she'll be joined by musician Kacey Musgraves, the country artist making her third stop on Saturday Night Live. As is standard, tonight's episode will begin airing at 11:30 p.m. Eastern.
The live sketch comedy will have one more new episode before it takes a late winter break. Next weekend, Josh Brolin will make his third appearance as host on Saturday Night Live. He'll be joined by musical guest Ariana Grande, who's also making her third stop at 30 Rock. The pop star last appeared on Saturday Night Live in a 2016 episode in which she served as both host and musical guest.
After the Brolin and Grande edition, Saturday Night Live will then take a two-week break before returning with new episodes on March 30th for another batch of three new episodes. Hosts and guests have yet to be announced for the next wave of new episodes.
