Is ‘SNL’ Airing Tonight? Latest Updates Here

Tonight, fans of “Saturday Night Live” will find themselves watching a repeat episode instead of a new show. The series will not air a fresh episode until May 2.
Upcoming “SNL” Episodes and Hosts
The return of “SNL” will feature Olivia Rodrigo as both the host and musical guest. This highly anticipated appearance marks her first time hosting the show, though it will be her third time performing as a musical guest. Rodrigo’s new album, “You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So In Love,” is set for release on June 12.
- May 2: Olivia Rodrigo (host and musical guest)
- May 9: Matt Damon (guest)
- May 16: Will Ferrell and Paul McCartney (finale)
The final three episodes of Season 51 will air consecutively from May 2 to May 16. Fans should note that the resting period means they will not see new sketches until the start of May.
Where to Watch “SNL”
New episodes of “Saturday Night Live” are broadcast on Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. PT on NBC. Following the live airing, episodes become available for streaming on Peacock the next day. For those who desire classic “SNL” moments, older episodes are also accessible on the same platform.
Notable Departures and Changes
Recently, Bowen Yang announced his departure from “Saturday Night Live” after a successful six-year tenure. He joined the show initially as a writer in 2018 and became a prominent cast member shortly after.
The 51st season will wrap up with the final show on May 16, leaving fans eagerly awaiting details about Season 52. While a specific return date has yet to be provided, historical trends suggest it may premiere in late September or early October.
