Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, September 21, 2024?
No. SNL Season 50 premieres Saturday, September 28.
NBC will be re-airing the April 13 episode hosted by Ryan Gosling with Musical Guest Chris Stapleton. This was Gosling's third turn hosting, and his latest appearance was a memorable one for multiple reasons.
The episode started with a new installment of Gosling's "Close Encounters" sketch series with Kate McKinnon, followed by his monologue, which turned into a musical duet with his Fall Guy co-star, Emily Blunt. Maybe most notably, the hilarious episode also featured the viral "Beavis and Butt-Head" sketch, which was the most-watched live sketch of Season 49.
Aside from his musical performances, Stapleton also got in on the fun, appearing in a pre-taped musical sketch, "Get That Boy Back."
Not only was the Gosling-hosted episode the highest rated of the season and the most-streamed SNL episode ever on Peacock, it also took home three Creative Arts Emmys earlier in September.
