  • Upcoming SNL episodes to feature Adam Driver with Olivia Rodrigo, and Kate McKinnon with Billie Eilish.
  • SNL Season 49 cast photo released alongside a behind-the-scenes glimpse.
  • NBC's SNL continues its legacy of humor, music, and culture with star-studded Season 49.

It's been a busier week than usual when it comes to NBC's Saturday Night Live – in a good way. Along with getting a welcome video for host Emma Stone (Showtime's The Curse) & musical guest Noah Kahan and Stone riding solo for her midweek sketch, we also had two surprise treats. First, we got a chance to check out the official Season 49 cast image (along with a look behind the scenes at the shoot). Following that, we learned that there are two more shows after this weekend before the end-of-the-year break. On December 9th, Adam Driver is set to host – joined by musical guest Olivia Rodrigo. Following that, midseason wraps on December 16th with host & SNL icon Kate McKinnon and musical guest Billie Eilish. And that brings us to Wednesday night and our chance to check out Stone in the middle of read-thru with the SNL cast.
