"Espresso" singer Sabrina Carpenter is the Musical Guest.
Gyllenhaal stars in the upcoming Presumed Innocent series after getting buff for the 2024 Road House remake co-starring Conor McGregor.

It will be Gyllenhaal's third time hosting SNL, after shows in 2007 and 2022. Though the actor is primarily known for dramatic work like Ambulance, Zodiac, Nightcrawler, and The Covenant, he's also flexed his absurdly silly side on the sketch show.
In fact, it's already on display in the promo for May 18's SNL. In it, Gyllenhaal's perusing a script — and busting out some cartoon-worthy voices — when Marcello Hernández asks him to sign his "SNL yearbook."
Gyllenhaal throws his whole self into the endeavor, laughing and near-weeping as he composes just the right message (and Hernández grows bored, eventually dozing off).

"Wait, 'b kewl! - Jack'?" the cast member exclaims after he reads the final inscription, as a proud Gyllenhaal walks away.
