After taking a large chunk of the month off, NBC's Saturday Night Live returns this weekend with host Ramy Youssef and musical guest Travis Scott. That means it's time to blow the dust off of the promo machine and get the engines running again. Of course, that means kicking things off with a "red carpet" welcome video for Youssef & Scott as Studio 8H gets ready for SNL's March 30th return. Following that, we have two more weeks of new shows – with SNL Alum Kristen Wiig returning to host on April 6th (with musical guest Raye) and Ryan Gosling (The Fall Guy) returning to host on April 13th (with musical guest Chris Stapleton).
