It just wouldn't be the weekend without Saturday Night Live!
The beloved late-night sketch show has been making Saturday nights brighter for comedy fans for over half a century, and its 51st season has delivered plenty of standout moments featuring hosts from Ariana Grande to Melissa McCarthy and more. But is there a new episode of SNL tonight?
Here's everything you before you tune in!
Is there a new episode of 'SNL' tonight?
No, there is no new episode of SNL tonight, Dec. 27.
After an all-new episode last weekend hosted by Grande and including an emotional farewell sketch from beloved cast member Bowen Yang (who's sadly leaving the show), SNL is taking a well-deserved holiday break.
Who is hosting next week and who is the musical guest?
Unfortunately, SNL's winter vacation will run through next weekend as well.
In fact, the show won't return until Jan. 17 — but that night's episode is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser: As Last Night On reported, Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard will be hosting for the first time (which is fitting, considering the series finale of Stranger Things is scheduled to be released on New Year's Eve).
Wolfhard will be joined by A$AP Rocky, making his debut as musical guest (he previously made a cameo appearance during a 2018 episode hosted by Donald Glover).

Where can I watch 'SNL'?

Who else is hosting and performing on 'SNL' this season?
