Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, or a repeat? Here's everything to know about the September 28 episode.
The day has finally arrived: It's time for the Season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live!
Fans have been (im)patiently waiting for new episodes ever since the Season 49 finale on May 18, but the summer hasn't been a total drought for SNL lovers. Members of the cast appeared at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, while others hit the road with their own live comedy shows. "Weekend Update" co-anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost even hosted their own live comedy special on Peacock.
As of this week, the cast and crew are back in 30 Rock's Studio 8H to make hilarious history with the upcoming season.
Season 50 news has ramped up with a fresh list of Hosts and Musical Guests for the season's first five episodes. There'll also be some new talent on the SNL stage this fall, as the show's added three new Featured Players: Ashley Padilla, Emil Wakim and Jane Wickline.
So here's what to know about this week's episode.
