Kristen Wiig is making her grand return to host Saturday Night Live this weekend (April 6) for the milestone fifth time, and in a new promo released on Wednesday (April 3), the former cast member visits her former dressing room.

“I’m finally home. The best part of being home? Returning to your childhood bedroom — or, in my case, dressing room,” the comedian says as she saunters down the hallways of 30 Rockefeller Plaza’s studio 8H in the one-minute clip. “Lorne [Michaels] promised they’d always leave it just the way I left it.”

However, as she was gearing up to see her old costumes from SNL years past, she steps into the dressing room to find that it has been taken over by new cast members Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker, who have basically turned the space into a dorm room full of snacks, video games and clutter.

“You like what we did with the place?” Walker asks after Longfellow mistakenly calls Wiig “Kristine,” after the actress sees her old things in a box on the table. “It’s great,” Wiig replies, before thinking to herself, “It’s gonna be a long week. Mama’s back you little b—-es.”

The former SNL cast member’s new series Palm Royale — which she both stars in and executive produced — premieres March 20 on AppleTV+. She will be hosting the episode, while Raye will be making her SNL debut as musical guest. The British singer-songwriter recently made history by taking home six BRIT Awards, the most ever awarded to one artist in a single year.

Watch the promo below, and catch Saturday Night Live on Saturday (April 6) at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC, before the episode begins streaming on Peacock.
