The pioneering program remains one of the most anticipated appointment series on television, too, because of its sharp satire, on-the-nose political impressions, hilarious shorts, and an exciting array of guest hosts. For many fans, it’s simply a can’t-miss whenever there’s a new episode. So is SNL new this weekend? Here are the details.
