Saturday Night Live returns with an exciting new episode on Saturday, November 15, featuring actor Glen Powell as the host and musical guest Olivia Dean. This marks a significant occasion as it is both Powell and Dean’s debut appearances in their respective roles on the iconic late-night comedy series.
SNL will air at its regular time, 11:30 p.m. EST / 8:30 p.m. PST, on NBC. The latest episode is the sixth installment of the show’s 51st season, which has undergone a significant cast shakeup recently. Following the conclusion of its milestone 50th season, several cast members including Devon Walker, Emil Wakim, Michael Longfellow, Heidi Gardner, and Ego Nwodim departed the show. In their place, SNL has welcomed an array of new talent for season 51, adding Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson, and Veronika Slowikowska to its lineup, along with returning players Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline.
This reinvention of the cast continues to blend the seasoned experience of returning members such as Michael Che, Mikey Day, and Kenan Thompson with fresh perspectives, creating an exciting dynamic that fans can look forward to each episode.
Tonight’s lineup promises to deliver new sketches, humor, and musical performances that are hallmarks of SNL’s enduring appeal. Viewers can also catch the show live on Peacock after its broadcast on NBC, ensuring that audiences remain engaged with the latest hilarity and entertainment.
With a mix of new and returning talent, SNL is poised to bring its signature comedy to life once again.
