Summer is nearly upon us, but the 20 episodes of Saturday Night Live Season 50 are well worth looking back on.
It’s been a whirlwind era for the late night sketch show, filled with surprise cameos, nostalgia, and more than one milestone. Hacks star Jean Smart kicked off the season with her hosting debut, former cast member Martin Short was inducted into the Five Timers Club, while Timothée Chalamet made his debut as Musical Guest during his double-duty episode.
Newly-minted seven timer Scarlett Johansson broke her tie with Tina Fey and Drew Barrymore, and has now officially hosted the show more than any other woman. Marcello Hernández introduced us all to Domingo, and and The Lonely Island returned for the first time since 2018’s “Natalie’s Rap 2” with two brand new, extremely catchy Digital Shorts.
That’s all not even counting the time SNL stuffed as many celebrities into its audience as possible on a Sunday night in February for a three-hour anniversary extravaganza. We had a fever, and the only prescription was more cowbell as much SNL as possible. And, after a jam-packed nine months, you’re here to find out whether there’s a new episode tonight. Details below.
