The first show of the season, on 28 Saturday, will be hosted Jean Smart and feature Jelly Roll as the musical guest star. Both will be making their Saturday Night Live debuts.
Next, on 5 October, comedian Nate Bargatze returns as host, and Coldplay are the musical guests. Coldplay were guests on Saturday Night Live last year, playing The Astronaut and Fix You. Coldplay’s new album, Moon Music, will be released on 4 October, and will feature the singles feelslikeimfallinginlove and We Pray (featuring Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna & Tini). Each vinyl copy of the album – produced my Max Martin – will be made out of nine recycled PET-plastic bottles that have been recovered from waste, which will prevent the manufacture of more than 25 metric tonnes of virgin plastic, and provide an 85% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional 140g vinyl.
Likewise, CD editions of the record will be the first in the world to be released on ‘EcoCD’, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, sourced from post-consumer waste streams.
There will also be a limited ‘Notebook Edition’ of the record, which comes as a casebound hardback book, a replica of Chris Martin’s original studio notebook. It will contain 28 pages of notes, lyrics and illustrations from the album’s creative process.
On 12 October , Ariana Grande will host the show, for the first time since 2016. The musical guest that night will be the legendary Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks, who last performed on the show in 1983.
Michael Keaton will host the 19 October episode, and he’ll be joined by Saturday Night Live regular Billie Eilish, who most recently performed on the NBC program in December 2023.
Lastly, former Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney is the host of the 2 November episode. The musical guest that night will be Chappell Roan.
