Is Saturday Night Live New Tonight, September 14, 2024? Host and Musical Guest

Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, or a repeat? Here's everything to know about the September 14 episode.

By Christopher Rudolph

It's a big weekend for Saturday Night Live — because this Sunday is the 76th annual Primetime Emmys.

How to Watch

Watch Saturday Night Live Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC and next day on Peacock.  

SNL is nominated in several major categories, including Outstanding Scripted Variety Series and Outstanding Writing For A Variety Series. Season 50 cast member Bowen Yang is up for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series (his fourth Emmy nomination overall), and he's also a scheduled presenter at the ceremony.

Meanwhile, fellow 2024 Emmys presenter Maya Rudolph snagged a nod in Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her hosting gig on May 11, while Kristen Wiig is nominated in the same category for her April 6 episode. April 13 Host Ryan Gosling also received a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.

One thing we can almost-certainly expect on Sunday night: Primetime Emmys' executive producers have also teased "a moment" that will celebrate SNL's upcoming historic 50th season.

SNL was nominated for 18 2024 Emmys in total. And no matter what happens this weekend, the talented behind-the-scenes crew members have already walked away winners: At the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys on September 7 and 8, the series took home six Emmys for Season 49.

Gosling's episode nabbed three wins, and the Josh Brolin, Kristen Wiig, and Timothée Chalamet episodes each earned technical honors as well.

As we await the Primetime Emmys on September 15, fans might be wondering: Is SNL new tonight?

Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, September 14, 2024?

No.

NBC will air the SNL April 6 episode hosted by Kristen Wiig with Musical Guest Raye in her SNL debut. It's always a special occasion when Wiig returns to Studio 8H — but even more so this time, as she was inducted into the Five-Timers Club (which Emma Stone also joined when she hosted on December 2, 2023).

In addition to Wiig's star-studded induction into the Five-Timers Club, the Emmy-winning episode also featured the viral "Jumanji," in which the Palm Royale star played a woman afraid of getting "Jumanji-ed" during a game night with friends.
