The upcoming episode of “Saturday Night Live,” set to air on May 10, features actor Walton Goggins making his hosting debut. Goggins, known for his role in “The White Lotus,” has also been recognized with multiple Primetime Emmy nominations through his career. He has appeared in other popular shows and films, such as “Justified,” “Predators,” and “The Hateful Eight.” In a lighthearted promo for the episode, Goggins referenced fan theories related to his character in “The White Lotus.”
Joining him as the musical guest is the Grammy Award-winning indie rock band Arcade Fire, returning for their sixth appearance on “SNL.” The band, known for their acclaimed album “Funeral,” is celebrating the release of their new album “Pink Elephant,” dropping on May 9. The band’s frontman, Win Butler, has faced controversy in the past due to allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has publicly addressed, stating that the encounters were consensual and expressing regret for hurting anyone through his actions.
As the 50th season of “SNL” approaches its conclusion, fans can look forward to the final episode on May 17, which will see Academy Award-nominated actress Scarlett Johansson hosting with musician Bad Bunny as the guest.
This season has already produced memorable moments and continues to create excitement leading up to its finale. Fans can catch “SNL” live on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET, with streaming options available through Peacock and Hulu.
This may serve as a concluding milestone for “SNL” fans, as the show celebrates its storied history with notable hosts and guests throughout the years. As it wraps up the 50th season, the anticipation for future episodes remains strong.
