“Saturday Night Live” (SNL) will return with a new episode on Saturday, April 4, 2023. This episode will feature actor Jack Black as the host and musician Jack White as the musical guest. The announcement follows a brief hiatus, during which previously aired episodes will fill the regular time slot.
Key Details About the Upcoming Episode
In a recent cold open, SNL mocked former President Donald Trump, discussing current issues such as rising gas prices. This segment underscores the show’s tradition of using satire to comment on political and social events.
Host and Musical Guest

Jack Black’s return marks a milestone as he will be inducted into the show’s “five-timers club,” an honor given to those who have hosted SNL five times. His last appearance occurred almost a year earlier on April 5, 2022, following a long gap since 2005.
Jack White, who made his SNL debut in October 2002, will be featured as a musical guest for the sixth time, providing a blend of comedic and musical talent for the audience.

SNL episodes air live on Saturday nights at 11:30 p.m. ET (8:30 p.m. PT) on NBC. Viewers can stream episodes the following day on Peacock, where older episodes are also available for viewing.
