It’s been a few weeks since Saturday Night Live viewers got an all-new episode but finally, the wait is over. Beginning tonight, March 30th, the cast and crew of Saturday Night Live will reconvene at 30 Rock for a series of new episodes. Tonight’s edition will be led by comedian Ramy Youssef, who’s making his hosting debut during the episode. The Ramy star will be joined on Studio 8H by hip-hop artist Travis Scott.

Tonight’s episode also happens to be the first of three new episodes before Saturday Night Live takes another break. Next week’s episode, the April 6th edition, will be hosted by SNL alumnus Kristen Wiig. It’ll be Wiig’s fifth time hosting the show, which means fans should be able to expect some special appearances for her Five-Timers Club Celebration. She’ll be joined by singer-songwriter RAYE. The next weekend will then be hosted by Ryan Goslin with musical Guest Chris Stapleton. That episode will be the third time at 30 Rock for each of the talents.
