As a long-time fan of Saturday Night Live (SNL), I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming 50th season! The recent announcement of the hosts and musical guests for the first five shows has only intensified my excitement, especially with Ariana Grande set to host on October 12. This will be her third time on SNL, and having worked with a SNL favorite, Bowen Yang, in the upcoming Wicked movie, it’s going to be an unforgettable night!
The upcoming 50th season of Saturday Night Live on the 2024 TV lineup was already generating much excitement due to another presidential election that the NBC series can satirize. However, this week saw an even greater surge of anticipation as the hosts and musical acts for the initial five episodes were unveiled. Among the hosts is Ariana Grande, and her Wicked director expressed his endorsement in a heartwarming manner.
Ariana Grande is set to headline the third episode of Saturday Night Live‘s 50th season on October 12, featuring iconic artist Stevie Nicks as the musical guest. In anticipation of Grande’s upcoming appearance on SNL, here’s an intriguing conversation between the singer and director Jon M. Chu from the show Wicked:
Jon M. Chu shared the announcement by commenting “favorite host ever.” Ariana Grande saw the filmmaker’s Instagram story and posted it to her own Instagram account with the response: “love you 🥹”. It’s a huge honor for the star to help spread the word about the Wicked release date, but she has a huge music icon alongside her for the night in Stevie Nicks and major support around her. It’s going to be a magical evening!
Besides Jon M. Chu, several other notable figures expressed their positive sentiments about the hosting role. Scroll through her Instagram comments and you’ll see numerous approvals. Here are some examples:
- “Two witches!!!!!” – Bowen Yang
- “Yes!!!!!” – Josh Brolin
- “Um. Insane” – Rachel Zegler
- “Oh my god” – Troye Sivan
- “Wow. Wow. Wow.” – Tan France
In the upcoming musical production, it turns out that Ariana Grande collaborated with a well-liked figure from Saturday Night Live, as Bowen Yang is joining the cast of the movie adaptation of “Wicked.” Yang, who is slated for Season 50, hinted at the presence of “two witches” on the show that night. Since Grande now plays Glinda the Good Witch, his prediction seems accurate. It’s also interesting to note that Josh Brolin commented because he was the host when she last appeared on the program, which was as a musical guest back in March.
Initially, Ariana Grande made a significant impact on Saturday Night Live in 2014 as a musical guest, with Chris Pratt hosting. Two years later, she returned to the show, this time as both the host and musical guest for the first time. This upcoming appearance marks her debut as an improv and acting talent, although it’s expected that her remarkable vocal abilities will also feature in the show.
On September 28, the 50th edition of Saturday Night Live debuts featuring Jean Smart as the host and Jelly Roll as the musical guest. Smart expressed her excitement about the opportunity, describing it as something she’s always wanted to do when the announcement was made. Next up on October 5 is comedian Nate Bargatze hosting the show with Coldplay as the musical act. On October 19, Michael Keaton will take over hosting duties alongside Billie Eilish as the musical guest. The news that John Mulaney and Chappell Roan will be the main acts on November 2 has fans buzzing with anticipation.
In a matter of weeks, we’re eagerly anticipating the way Grande will make an impact, once again, on the amusing NBC comedy series.
