Who's Hosting Saturday Night Live's Season Finale?
Here's everything to know about the Host and Musical Guest for Season 49's last episode.
It's hard to believe that Saturday Night Live Season 49 has nearly come to a close. Fresh off Maya Rudolph's triumphant return to Studio 8H on May 11, there's only one episode left before the hardworking cast, writing team, crew, and everyone else behind the show take the summer off ahead of SNL's 50th season (!) in the fall.
Season 49 has welcomed a mix of new faces, like first-time Hosts Sydney Sweeney and Ayo Edibiri, and inducted Emma Stone and Kristen Wiig into the Five-Timers Club. Wiig and Rudolph weren't the only beloved SNL cast alums to come back in the 2023-2024 season: Kate McKinnon hosted for her first time since leaving SNL at the end of Season 47, while Pete Davidson starred in the premiere way back in October.
