John Mulaney is gearing up for his seventh hosting stint on the iconic late-night show, Saturday Night Live (SNL), while comedian Druski is ready to make history as a first-time host. The details of their upcoming appearances were announced on Thursday, 22 October, adding excitement to SNL’s already vibrant 52nd season.
Mulaney, aged 44 and known for his stellar comedy and memorable performances, will take the helm on 14 November, accompanied by the musical stylings of Phoebe Bridgers. His return marks nearly two years since his last appearance, when he delivered a hilarious monologue in November 2024. Having first hosted the show in April 2018, Mulaney has become a familiar face on the SNL stage, with additional hosting roles in March 2019, February 2020, and October 2020, followed by another in February 2022.
Conversely, Druski, 32, will be making his debut as a host on 7 November, a significant milestone as he becomes the first content creator to step into the role in SNL’s illustrious history, which spans over five decades. Alongside Druski will be the renowned rock band The Strokes as the evening’s musical guest. This pairing promises to create a memorable night as SNL continues to evolve with new talent.
The upcoming SNL slate also includes actress Inde Navarrette, who is set to host the Halloween episode on 31 October, with musical accompaniment from Gracie Abrams. Navarrette’s appearance was previously revealed in early September, alongside fellow 2024 hosts Jalen Brunson, Dakota Johnson, and Shane Gillis. The season has seen a variety of musical guests, including Rosalía, KATSEYE, and Turnstile, contributing to a dynamic lineup.
Although Mulaney will not set a record with his upcoming appearances, he continues to be a staple of the show. The record for hosting is currently held by Alec Baldwin, who has graced the SNL stage 17 times. Mulaney’s continued popularity and comedic prowess keep audiences looking forward to his performances and witty commentary.
In the realm of social media and content creation, Druski’s rise has been meteoric. His hosting gig on SNL follows his announcement of co-hosting duties for the Chicago segment of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in 2027, further solidifying his influence in the entertainment industry.
Phoebe Bridgers has previously appeared on SNL as a solo artist in 2021 and later performed alongside Boygenius, showcasing her versatile talent. The Strokes, a long-standing fixture in the rock scene, have graced the SNL stage four times since 2002, making their next performance one to anticipate eagerly.
Fans can catch SNL’s latest episodes, featuring these exciting hosts and musical guests, returning on 31 October at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Additionally, viewers can stream the show on Peacock, ensuring that the hilarious sketches and musical performances are accessible to a wider audience.
As the iconic show progresses through its current season, the combination of Mulaney’s seasoned talent and Druski’s fresh perspective promises to deliver unforgettable comedy moments that will resonate with audiences both live and at home. It is a thrilling time for SNL as it continues to celebrate its rich legacy while embracing new voices that reflect today’s entertainment landscape.
