Bad Bunny Will Host SNL for the First Time

Yes, the iconic NBC late-night show, Saturday Night Live, is making its triumphant return! They have officially unveiled their plans for the highly anticipated 49th season. So, let’s all mark our calendars for October 14, 2023, as the comeback of SNL promises a night of laughter and music with Pete Davidson as the host. Let’s not forget that his hosting debut was initially scheduled for May 6, 2023, with Lil Uzi Vert as the musical guest. However, all upcoming episodes were abruptly halted on May 2 due to the writers’ strike.

But now, we can finally rejoice as the premiere is set to make up for lost time. Furthermore, this premiere will be a momentous occasion as it marks Ice Spice‘s debut appearance on the SNL stage after winning the ‘Best New Artist’ category at the 2023 VMA’s. The excitement doesn’t stop there; SNL has something special in store for the following week. On October 21, 2023, Bad Bunny will not only take center stage as the musical guest but will also make his debut as an SNL host!
