Saturday Night Live: Jason Momoa, Tate McRae Set for November 18th
NBC's Saturday Night Live will be live again on November 18th, with host Jason Momoa ("Aquaman" films) and musical guest Tate McRae.
Heading into last week's break, NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49 was batting two-for-three with its first three episodes. A solid single (possibly a double) with SNL alum Pete Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice in the opener, followed by a triple with Halloween weekend host/stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze and musical guest Foo Fighters (though it was a strikeout with host & musical guest Bad Bunny). But now, we're only days away from Timothée Chalamet (Wonka) and musical guest boygenius (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus) taking the stages of Studio 8H for this weekend's show – which we're now learning will be followed by host Jason Momoa ("Aquaman" franchise) and musical guest Tate McRae on November 18th.
NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49 company includes Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Marcello Hernandez, James Austin Johnson, Punkie Johnson, Colin Jost, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, Chloe Troast, Devon Walker, and Bowen Yang. SNL is executive-produced by Lorne Michaels, with Liz Patrick directing and SNL alum Darrell Hammond announcing. Broadcasting from Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, the long-running late-night sketch comedy/music series is produced by SNL Studios in association with Universal Television and Broadway Video.
