Article Summary
- Glen Powell hosts SNL 51 this weekend, bringing big energy and an epic Christopher Walken-inspired hype dance to his midweek sketch.
- But things take a "painful" turn when Powell’s Studio 8H dance doesn't end exactly as expected.
- Here's hoping Sarah Sherman and Andrew Dismukes know how to keep a secret.
- Olivia Dean joins as musical guest this weekend, ahead of SNL’s holiday break.
We've got Glen Powell (Hulu's Chad Powers, The Running Man) hosting and Olivia Dean as the musical guest for this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, most likely the final new show for the month. After the midweek sketch that was released earlier today, we're feeling cautiously optimistic about SNL going into the first holiday break on a strong note. Powell channels his inner Christopher Walken for a Studio 8H hype dance that's pretty damn impressive – until it goes oh, so wrong. Here's hoping SNL stars Sarah Sherman and Andrew Dismukes can keep a secret…
SNL is the most Emmy-winning show in history and holds 113 Emmy wins (including awards for its specials and short-form series). SNL has been honored four times with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame. The show continues to garner the highest ratings and largest audience of any late-night television program, entertaining millions each week on linear and digital platforms.
Since its inception in 1975, SNL has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. SNL makes headlines with topical humor reflecting politics and current events, features an array of characters with a perspective on pop culture that remains unparalleled, and offers sharp political commentary through its signature "Weekend Update" segment. A variety show that is truly one of a kind, SNL also attracts the biggest stars of music to its stage for innovative viral performances.
The Season 51 cast includes Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Marcello Hernandez, James Austin Johnson, Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, and Bowen Yang, along with current featured players Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline. Joining them are newcomers Ben Marshall, Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson, and Veronika Slowikowska.

NBC's Saturday Night Live premiered on Oct. 11, 1975, and broadcasts live from NBC's famed Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center. The program is a production of Broadway Video in association with SNL Studios. Lorne Michaels is the executive producer.
