Is ‘SNL’ new tonight (April 13, 2024)? Host, musical guest details

Is “SNL” new tonight (April 13, 2024)? YES. NBC’s late night sketch comedy series returns on Saturday with host Ryan Gosling and musical guest Chris Stapleton. In his “Saturday Night Live” promo video (watch above), the actor can’t hold back his laughter when cast member Sarah Sherman reveals she “looked in the eclipse” and “can’t tell where the camera is now.” This marks Gosling’s third time hosting the program after his stints in 2015 and 2017.

The regular cast members for “Saturday Night Live” Season 49 are, in credits order: Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, James Austin Johnson, Punkie Johnson, Colin Jost, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang. The featured players are: Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, Chloe Troast and Devon Walker. In a move of solidarity, none of the cast members from last year’s strike-truncated 48th cycle have departed (aside from Cecily Strong, who left mid-season).

The Writers Guild of America strike lasted from May 2 to September 27, while the SAG-AFTRA strike went from July 14 to November 9. Since “SNL” does not fall under the purview of the Screen Actors Guild, that is why the show’s actors were allowed to work during October while picketing was still going on in other parts of the industry.

“Saturday Night Live’s” Weekend Update is once again anchored by Colin Jost and Michael Che, as they’ve done every week together since September 2014. As of “SNL’s” 47th season two years ago, Jost and Che are officially the longest-serving duo in the history of Weekend Update.
