With Saturday Night Live celebrating its 50th season, Lorne Michaels promised an unforgettable season with more than just memorable moments. Looking to bring in some of the biggest names in Hollywood and the music industry, the show recently took some time off after a massive celebration that welcomed basically every host and cast member who played a part on SNL. But with stars like Jack Black, Jon Hamm, and Elton John expected to grace Studio 8H in the coming weeks, here are all the details about tonight and if there is a new episode.
While fans missed SNL last week, great news – the show is back and ready to celebrate the weekend. Tonight, the show will welcome Mikey Madison to the stage as the host for the evening. Having made her rounds in Hollywood, the actress is sure to feel right at home on the stage. And besides Madison, country singer Morgan Wallen will also make his way to SNL tonight as the musical guest.

Promoting tonight’s episode, Madison and Wallen helped cut a promo for SNL that featured the actress and Chloe Fineman talking about the wonders of New York City. With spring quickly approaching, the two discussed the scenery of the Big Apple and how they welcomed the warm weather. But for Wallen, he didn’t care much for the city life as he pointed to the rats that are known to wander the streets of New York.

Morgan Wallen Appears On ‘Saturday Night Live’ Ahead Of New Album
Even when Fineman and Madison admitted they were both drunk, Wallen seemed saddened by the news, wishing he was too. Fans loved the promo as comments included, “Morgan Wallen is doing a great job of looking as disinterested as possible at two attractive women dancing so close to him.” Another person added, “I love how it’s two really talented women engaging with each other while a man just stood there as an accessory.”
Having performed on the show in the past, Wallen picked the perfect time to make his return given his upcoming album I’m the Problem. Expected to hit shelves on May 16, 2025, Wallen is sure to give fans a small taste of what is to come.
Don’t miss a new episode of Saturday Night Live, airing tonight at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and available to stream the following day on Peacock.
