Don’t know if you’ve heard, but Saturday Night Live season 50 is kind of a big deal. Like: It’s the cover of New York Magazine and a Reason to Love New York kinda big deal. Also a big deal? The first time we’re going to get to see Mikey Madison act post-Anora and post-Oscar win will be as SNL host on March 29. The actress still doesn’t have any projects lined up (although there Gerwig-ian rumors), so we await a chance to see her speak in character on bated breath. She’ll be joined by Morgan Wallen, whose first performance was canceled after he violated COVID protocols in 2020. He made his return a few months later, apologizing via sketch.
Madison and Wallen will be followed by Jack Black — he’ll be hosting for the first time since 2005. Notably, he cannot be musical guest as Tenacious D, which the duo did in 2006, since that relationship has blown up and the band is currently “on a break”. Instead, his musical guest(s) will be Elton John and Brandi Carlile. Finally, SNL’s favorite hottie Jon Hamm will host alongside musical guest Lizzo, who is somehow currently the most controversial musical guest on a lineup that includes Morgan Wallen.
