Is Saturday Night Live Back Tonight?
Emma Stone is hosting tonight's new episode.
After a week-long break for Thanksgiving, the cast and crew of Saturday Night Live are converging on 30 Rock for the live sketch comedy's first new episode of December. Tonight, December 2nd, will be the first of three new episodes before the series goes on an extended holiday break for the better part of the month.
Emma Stone is hosting tonight's episode, her fifth time serving as host and her eighth time on the show overall. She'll be joined by newcomer Noah Kahan, the singer-songwriter making his debut as musical guest.
Next week's episode sees Adam Driver take the role of host, making it his fourth stint atop the series. The musical guest for that edition is Olivia Rodrigo, the pop star making her sophomore outing. The Christmas episode will then feature the return of SNL alumnus Kate McKinnon, making her hosting debut on the show having previously appeared on it for 10 years. Billie Eilish is then appearing as the musical guest for the Christmas episode, her third time on the show.
