Is ‘SNL’ New This Week?
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is just a few episodes into Season 49. SNL alum Pete Davidson returned to host the show not long after his departure as a cast member for the first episode of the season. The next episode was hosted by Bad Bunny, who also served as the musical guest. Next up was comedian Nate Bargatze, and this past week, Timothée Chalamet returned to host a second time.
This season, full of wacky sketches, has also promoted the Please Don’t Destroy boys to the main intro as they are set to release a new film on Peacock soon. The cast is mostly the same as last season, with James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman moving to repertory players and newcomer Chloe Troast joining featured players.
