For NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 50, it's one down and two to go. After Quinta Brunson and musical guest Benson Boone helped the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music return from its break on a strong note, this weekend brings Walton Goggins (HBO's The White Lotus, Prime Video's Fallout) and musical guest Arcade Fire (with host Scarlett Johansson and musical guest Bad Bunny wrapping the season up on May 17th). That means that it's time for the SNL midweek sketch (which you can check out above), with Marcello Hernandez catching up with Goggins to see how he's feeling about hosting. Maybe its a bit of PTSD from filming The White Lotus, but Goggins seems to have some "theories" on how the season will end. Michael Che and Colin Jost? Murder/suicide? Emil Wakim? "Dead man walking." When Hernandez tries to explain that SNL isn't that type of show, Goggins has a new theory: Hernandez is going to get knocked off by Heidi Gardner. Or maybe Chloe Fineman? How about Bowen Yang? Ahhh… but there's a twist!
