I had the pleasure of witnessing Saturday Night Live’s grand 50th Anniversary celebration not too long ago. It was a memorable event filled with hosts and stars from the show’s rich history returning to the stage. The special occasion was a massive ratings hit for the network, drawing in nearly 15 million viewers. Yet, as they say, the show must continue, and we now have a fresh batch of hosts lined up for the upcoming episodes of the series. This new lineup is quite intriguing, with a renowned pop music sensation set to take the stage, along with a former host who was previously let go a few years back.
As reported by Variety, the latest lineup features Shane Gillis, a former cast member who was previously dismissed, and singer-actress Lady Gaga. It’s worth noting that Gillis is making his comeback to the sketch comedy series as a host, following his reinstatement less than a year ago. His initial dismissal in 2019 was due to a wave of controversial remarks and old jokes that resurfaced. In the episode where he appears, Tate McRae will be the musical guest. The upcoming week will see Lady Gaga stepping up as both host and musical guest, which aligns perfectly with the launch of her seventh studio album titled “Mayhem.
How SNL Got Its Groove Back
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but appreciate how SNL thrives on the harmony of a riotous cast, an engaging host, and a musically gifted guest. It feels like this iconic series has made a splashy return to pop culture prominence, fittingly for its historic 50th season. Among the many recurring sketches this season, Domingo stands out, featuring performances by stars such as Ariana Grande, Charlie XCX, and Sabrina Carpenter who add an amusing twist with their off-key singing. Yet, it’s crucial to recognize that assembling the greatest names in SNL’s five-decade journey for a grand broadcast is no small feat.
Even though the show predominantly commemorates its history in its celebrations, it has consistently been able to peek into the future, contributing to its enduring existence. Relying too much on past glories and nostalgia might work for a while, but it’s only temporary. The upcoming episodes will be crucial to determine if they can continue the momentum they built for the anniversary special.
Fortunately for Lorne Michaels and Saturday Night Live (SNL), fans are ecstatic about the upcoming hosts, with social media buzzing with positive comments. The excitement extends to the announced musical acts as well. Regarding Lady Gaga, her musical performance is yet to be revealed, but it’s expected that she will perform at least two songs from her upcoming album. With “Disease” and “Abracadabra” already out, these popular hits seem likely contenders for inclusion.
