Is “SNL” new tonight? No. NBC’s late night sketch comedy series is taking a few weeks off, but it will return on Saturday, May 4 with host and musical guest Dua Lipa. The entertainer previously served as the musical guest to Natalie Portman in 2018 and to Kristen Wiig in 2020, but this will be her first time as host.
The regular cast members for “Saturday Night Live” Season 49 are, in credits order: Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, James Austin Johnson, Punkie Johnson, Colin Jost, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang. The featured players are: Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, Chloe Troast and Devon Walker. In a move of solidarity, none of the cast members from last year’s strike-truncated 48th cycle have departed.

The TV landscape is still working through a hangover period in the wake of the Hollywood strikes, but you wouldn't know it from the deluge of comedy specials that have been released in 2024. Over the past few months, we've seen Jenny Slate tell a "weird love story in reverse" while describing her pregnancy in graphic detail, Ramy Youssef consider the burden of representation in HBO's More Feelings, and Hannah Gadsby take the fight to Netflix (while on Netflix) amid the ongoing Dave Chappelle controversy. While these sets run the gamut from profane to political, the best invite the audience to rethink their relationship to the world around them — all while being laugh-out-loud funny, of course.

After making a 36-second cameo appearance on last week’s Saturday Night Live, Ryan Gosling returned to host the show for the third time in his career. The Fall Guy star’s screen time of just over 26 minutes is the fifth highest for a Season 49 host, behind those of Bad Bunny, Shane Gillis, Pete Davidson and Ramy Youssef.
Scroll down to see how Gosling stacked up against each of the show’s named performers, including musical guest Chris Stapleton and former cast member Kate McKinnon. Note that our screen time data is calculated using a method that prioritizes face time, meaning that any contiguous (off-screen but in-scene) moments and practically all partial body appearances do not count. Screen time in the show’s opening credits, bumpers and goodnights are not included, nor do those portions factor into our assessment of the episode’s total running time.

After a shortened 2022-23 season, Saturday Night Live returned a bit later than usual to kick off its 2023-24 run.
The writers strike affected both the end of last season and the start of season 49; the end of the labor action on Sept. 25 meant a mid-October start for SNL — with former castmember Pete Davidson hosting — rather than the late September or early October premiere the show usually has. (The cast is covered under a different SAG-AFTRA contract than the one actors are currently striking against, so they can perform without crossing picket lines.)
The show’s cast returned intact from last season, with James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman moving up from featured players to repertory players. Chloe Troast joined the cast as a featured player.
Below is The Hollywood Reporter’s updating guide to season 49’s SNL hosts and musical guests.

Cinema for Gaza, a group launched by a small group of female filmmakers and film journalists, has successfully raised more than $315,000 to support medical aid for the civilian population in Gaza.
A celebrity auction, organized by Cinema for Gaza, and supported by the likes of Tilda Swinton, Annie Lennox, Joaquin Phoenix, Spike Lee and Guillermo del Toro, raised some $316,778 (£254,297) for Medical Aid for Palestinians (Map), a U.K.-based charity that provides on-the-ground medical support, from sterile water to cancer drugs, for those on the Gaza Strip. The celebrities donated personal items — from signed film posters to personal Zoom chats to, in the case of Lennox, the handwritten lyrics to her Eurythmics hit “Sweet Dreams” — to be sold off to the highest bidder. (Lennox’s lyrics sheet was the top seller, with a bidder paying $26,222 for the piece of pop music history).

Ryan Gosling is hosting Saturday Night Live on April 13 and is seemingly nervous about meeting musical guest Chris Stapleton.
In a preview for this week’s episode of the NBC sketch show, Gosling is seen practicing how he will introduce himself to Stapleton. Gosling is sporting a Stapleton t-shirt and holding the singer’s headshot while knocking on Stapleton’s room at Studio 8H.
“Mr. Stapleton, big fan, love your music,” Gosling says in the preview. “Nah, it’s stupid.”
Gosling tries another line, saying, “Yo Chris! One for the gram?” as he takes out his mobile device to take a selfie with the singer.
The Barbie actor finally gets the courage to open Stapleton’s room. Gosling sees Stapleton’s cowboy hat and can’t resist the temptation to sport it and take on his persona.

Kristen Wiig was inducted into Saturday Night Live’s “Five-Timers Club” this past weekend with a little help from her friends Matt Damon, Jon Hamm, Paul Rudd, Will Forte, Fred Armisen, Martin Short, Ryan Gosling, and Paula Pell.
Joined by musical guest Raye, Wiig, a Saturday Night Live cast member from 2005-2012, hosted SNL’s April 6, 2024 episode, and it averaged 4,575,000 total viewers and 1,083,000 P18-49 viewers, per live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen.
If those numbers look big, that’s because they are. Out of the 16 SNL episodes that have aired this season to-date, the April 6 episode comes in at No. 4 overall in total viewers, and is up +18% from the most-recent SNL episode (hosted by Ramy Youssef a week earlier). The show’s 4,575,000 total linear live-plus-same-day audience is the largest since the March 9, 2024 episode hosted by Josh Brolin.

Disney revealed on Monday that its musical animated feature Wish, starring Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) and Chris Pine (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) garnered 13.2 million views globally in its first five days streaming on Disney+.
This amounts to the third biggest premiere on the service, behind those of Encanto and Frozen 2, with a view being defined as total stream time divided by runtime.
Earlier this year securing a Golden Globe nomination for Best Animated Feature, Wish takes place in the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha (DeBose), a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force — a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe — the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico (Chris Pine) — to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars,...

A star-studded group of veteran “Saturday Night Live” guest hosts were on hand this evening to welcome Kristen Wiig into the “Five-Timers Club.” But much to Wiig’s chagrin, most of them haven’t matched her feat of actually hosting “SNL” five times.
The former “Saturday Night Live” cast member made her fifth appearance as host — having previously hit the stage in 2013, 2016 and twice in 2020.
The stolen “SNL” valor actually began with a legit five-timer: Paul Rudd, on hand to welcome her from the audience..
“As a former cast member, it is very special,” Wiig said. “I’m really excited about getting my jacket tonight… they don’t just hand the jackets off to anyone.”
Well, not quite. Soon more stars came out: Matt Damon, Jon Hamm, Martin Short, Will Forte, Fred Armisen, Martin Short and Ryan Gosling. None of whom haven actually hosted five times yet.

Jonathan Glazer has kept a low profile since his controversial 2024 Oscars acceptance speech.
But The Zone of Interest filmmaker has resurfaced to donate seven signed posters for his Oscar-winning movie, as well as a selection of posters for his 2014 film Under the Skin, to the Cinema for Gaza auction that is raising funds for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (Map).
“We are moved beyond words to feature donations from Jonathan Glazer and his co-creators on the most confronting film of our time, The Zone of Interest,” the auction organizers stated on the online site.
The film posters, donated by Glazer and Zone of Interest producer James Wilson, have so far drawn a bid for £2750.00 ($3,462.20), with the auction to end on April 12. The posters will be signed by Glazer, composer Mica Levi and Wilson.

Ramy Youssef may have made SNL history as the first Arab Egyptian named Ramy to ever host the sketch show, but the episode’s Nielsen ratings weren’t quite as historic.
Youssef, a standup comedian, actor and director, was joined by musical guest Travis Scott for the March 30, 2024 episode of Saturday Night Live. It averaged 3,892,000 total viewers and 803,000 P18-49 viewers, per live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen.
Out of the 15 SNL episodes that have aired this season to-date, the March 30 episode comes in at No. 13 overall in total viewers, and is -16% from the most-recent SNL episode (hosted by Josh Brolin on March 9, 2024). It’s also the smallest total linear SNL audience since Dec. 2, 2023 episode hosted by Emma Stone.
SNL’s 803,000 P18-49 viewer live-plus-same-day average on March 30 also ranks No. 13 out of the show’s 15 episodes this season to-date.

It’s always that one last job where things tend to go haywire.
In the premiere of AMC’s new crime drama Parish, Giancarlo Esposito stars as Gracián “Gray” Parish, a family man down on his luck following the murder of his son Maddox. He’s also a driver with a shady criminal past, much of which his family, wife Ros and daughter Michaela, know nothing about. Despite major financial troubles and a flailing business that may lead to the loss of their New Orleans home, it only takes minutes for us to realize that Gray’s struggles are far more than just monetary.

This weekend, Ramy Youssef became the first Egyptian named Ramy from New Jersey to ever host Saturday Night Live, and one of the night’s highlight sketches took aim at a beloved cultural mainstay: NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts.
The sketch featured Youssef as the leader of a band that gets to “quirk it up” on Tiny Desk, even having their cellist (Chloe Troast) playing a milk carton as a shaker for the occasion. As they begin performing, though, they are interrupted by Bowen Yang (playing a 35-year-old intern who attends “Suny Newark”), who asks them to “keep the ruckus down” because “some of us are working.”
The band, confused that their booking to play Bob Boilen’s iconic desk at the NPR office has gone awry, tries to continue, but is again interrupted by Yang’s character (who is on an “important Zoom” with “Glass and Gross” in the...

Ramy Youssef may not be a household name, but his self-titled comedy series "Ramy" on Hulu landed him Emmy nominations for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, not to mention a Peabody Award in 2020. So, he's got the right amount of experience and accolades to be called up to host "Saturday Night Live." Furthermore, Youssef is an established stand-up comedian, joining the likes of Nate Bargatze and Shane Gillis as hosts this season. But how did he handle the live sketch comedy of "SNL" in his hosting debut?
Well, Ramy Youssef doesn't seem to have much versatility when it comes to providing a variety of characters, and "SNL" leaned back on familiar formulas like talk shows and game shows, though they still delivered some hearty laughs. But there were also some amusing, peculiar sketches in this episode, and of course, big laughs...

One week after the release of his second HBO stand-up special, More Feelings, Ramy Youssef made his Saturday Night Live hosting debut. Amassing over 26 minutes of screen time (translating to more than 41% of the episode), the actor and comedian became one of the most heavily utilized hosts of the season, behind only Bad Bunny, Shane Gillis and Pete Davidson.
Scroll down to see how Youssef stacked up against each of the show’s named performers, including musical guest Travis Scott and featured artist Playboi Carti.

Ramy Youssef hosted “Saturday Night Live” this weekend and left little unturned in his opening monologue. Impressively, the comedian and actor was able to joke about everything from being Muslim in a Donald Trump-enthused upstate New York, working the Joe Biden campaign and nominating a trans woman for president.
“Like, imagine her speech. It would be so inspiring,” he joked. “She would be like, ‘A lot of politicians talk about change’ — like, you can see the bumper sticker, right? ‘Real change,'” he said.
Youssef kicked things off by explaining that we are experiencing an “incredibly spiritual weekend” that includes Ramadan, Easter and the release of Beyoncé’s new album. “There are just so many religions celebrating at once,” he said.
From there, he shared that he’d recently performed in upstate New York, and while exploring the area where he performed, he noticed “all this Trump stuff — flags,...

While making his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live this weekend, Ramy Youssef prayed for God to free the people of Palestine and all of the hostages taken in the Israel-Hamas War. “I’m out of ideas. All I have are prayers. That’s all I can do right now,” Youssef explained. “And in my friend group, I’m one of the only guys who prays. I’m friends with a lot of sinners, like, just disgusting people. And they call me when they’re in trouble because they want me to pray for them.” The Poor Things actor went on to explain that he recently had two friends call and ask him to pray for them, but for drastically different reasons. One friend has been in court with ex-girlfriend for the last 10 months fighting over who gets to keep their dog, Mr. Bojangles, and his other friend has family in Gaza who are suffering.

The comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy found themselves in a place no one ever wants to be on a Saturday night: way, way too high in the middle of a crowded nightclub with Travis Scott.
During this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, Please Don’t Destroy aka Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy went on a joyride to a function with musical guest Scott. They smoked blunt after blunt in a party bus while rapping about their upcoming night of debauchery.

If you’re doing comedy on Easter eve, there are two ways you can go: the chocolate bunny-and-painted eggs thing, or the religion thing.
If you’re Saturday Night Live and you’ve got a presidential candidate grifting Bibles in the news the same week you have a host who celebrates Ramadan, that pretty much decides it for you.
Credit the show for diving into some usually dicey territory, everything from a cold open that included a representation of the resurrection to a plea on behalf of Palestinians in the conflict in Israel, to a Weekend Update joke about God resigning to protest Donald Trump’s bible stunt.
As reluctant as the show may be to put Trump out front too often in the cold open, the video this week of him hawking his Public Domain King James Bibles for 60 bucks, with lyrics to “God Bless the USA” and the Pledge of Allegiance appended,...

Tonight on SNL, Ramy Youssef appeared in a sketch parodying NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts series.
After singing a line from a song, alongside band mates played by Chloe Troast and James Austin Johnson, he tells a crowd assembled for the performance, “Thank you so much NPR. We are the Jonah Hughes Band. Now, that last one usually contains a lot more synth, but since this is a Tiny Desk concert, we’ve got to be quirking it up.”
“Yep,” says Troast. “That’s why I play a milk carton shaker.”
Youssef explains that Troast is usually on the cello, adding, “We’ve never actually played in an office before, like a real one, but being here is a dream come true.”
Before segueing into the band’s next song, “Crazy Girl, Amanda,” Youssef is interrupted by Bowen Yang, playing an NPR staffer.
“Hey, guys. Can we be quiet please?...

Having trouble fasting for Ramadan? SNL has a solution… and it might sound familiar.
This week’s Saturday Night Live featured a fake ad for a new prescription targeting the Arab American community: Ozempic for Ramadan, which helps curb the hunger pangs of Muslims who have to fast from sunrise to sunset for a whole month. “I used to rush to eat a whole meal for dawn,” host Ramy Youssef explains. “But now? I just grab my prayer beads and my Ozempic needle. As long as I shoot up before the sun rises, it’s halal.”

“Yo dudes, what’s up?” he says. “You won’t believe this, but I was just with Travis Scott and he wants to take us out tonight. Dude, we’re going to have a twisted, rockin’ ball with Travis Scott, man.”
“A what?” asks Herlihy.
“Like a twisted…um, why don’t we just go?” Youssef replies.

Tonight on SNL, Poor Things star Ramy Youssef appeared as part of a commercial highlighting an exciting new product called Ozempic for Ramadan.
After getting his kids ready for school, Youssef tells the viewer, “You know, fasting for Ramadan used to be easy, but the last few years of work and a growing family, it’s felt almost impossible. But not anymore, thanks to Ozempic for Ramadan.”
A narrator then explains that “Ozempic is a medication prescribed to suppress hunger and slow digestion, and Ramadan is a month when Muslims abstain from food and water from sunrise to sunset.”
While making a stop to the fridge at night, Youssef continues, “I used to rush to eat a whole meal before dawn. But now, I just grab my prayer beads and my Ozempic needle. As long as I shoot up before the sun rises, it’s halal.”

Ramy Youssef riffed on politics and religious holidays during his Saturday Night Live monologue, saying a trans woman should be the next president and later calling for the people of Palestine and the hostages to be freed.
Youssef, the creator and star of Hulu’s Ramy who recently appeared in the Oscar-winning film Poor Things, hit studio 8H on Saturday for his first stint hosting NBC’s sketch show.
He started his monologue by noting that “this is an incredibly spiritual weekend. We’re in the holy month of Ramadan, tomorrow is Easter and yesterday Beyoncé released a new album. There’s just so many religions celebrating all at once.”
Youssef, who is Muslim, noted that he’s “doing the Ramadan one.”
“I love Ramadan because I love hanging out with Muslims,” he said. “We’re so loving and I feel like people don’t know that about us. They know all these other things.

Ramy Youssef cheekily observed the holy month of Ramadan on “Saturday Night Live” with a parody ad offering a simple solution addressing the difficulties of fasting.
“You know, fasting for Ramadan used to be easy. But the last few years, with work and a growing family, it’s felt almost impossible. But not anymore. Thanks to Ozempic for Ramadan,” Youssef says in the sketch.

It’s an election year in America… and Ramy Youssef has some thoughts.
The comedian and Poor Things co-star hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time on Saturday, and he took time in his monologue to address the upcoming presidential election, which he says has everyone “freaked out.” He remembers President Biden’s campaign reaching out to him in 2020 to do outreach for them in the Arab American community, with a campaign rep telling him: “Everyone on the campaign is such a fan of your work,” and also, “Joe is aware.”

The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.
And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals.

They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.
As ambitious as they are — known for being some of the greatest to ever...
