Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actor Michael Keaton went from being "the ghost with the most" to "the Host with the most" when he led the October 19 episode of Saturday Night Live — his fourth turn on the Studio 8H stage.

How to Watch

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

Keaton's episode was the fourth new one in a row, as SNL kicked off its 50th season with a string of hilarious episodes hosted by Jean Smart, Nate Bargatze, and Ariana Grande. The October 19 installment featured a Halloween sequel to Adam Driver's chocolate Santa sketch from Season 49, a new Please Don't Destroy short, and a cold open starring Maya Rudolph as Vice President Kamala Harris and Alec Baldwin as Fox News Host Bret Baier.

Since SNL wasn't new last weekend, you might be wondering if Saturday Night Live is new this week.
