With viral sketches, surprise guests, and A-list Hosts, the first half of Saturday Night Live's historic 50th season has been memorable to say the least.

How to Watch

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

For the most recent new episode — on November 16 —  Charli XCX was the latest artist to pull double duty as both Host and Musical Guest. The SNL cast and crew then took a much-deserved break around the Thanksgiving holiday to rest and recharge.

For the past two weeks surrounding Thanksgiving, NBC has re-aired earlier Season 50 episodes — so you might be wondering: Is Saturday Night Live new this week? Find out below.
