‘Saturday Night Live’ announce Arcade Fire, Scarlett Johansson and Walton Goggins as special guests for 50th season
Saturday Night Live have announced the final guests for the 50th season of the show.
Hollywood stars Scarlett Johansson and Walton Goggins are set to host upcoming episodes, with Bad Bunny and Arcade Fire lined up to appear as musical guests.
The White Lotus star Goggins will make his SNL hosting debut on the May 10th episode. This comes in the wake of his popularity in the recent White Lotus season. He will be joined by the band Arcade Fire, making their sixth SNL appearance. Suitably, it will arrive the day after the release of the band’s seventh studio album, Pink Elephant.
A week later, Johansson, who is married to Saturday Night Live cast member Colin Jost, will host the May 17th episode. This will be her seventh time headlining the show. Fans can likely expect a dinosaur skit or two, as Johansson will next be seen in Jurassic World: Rebirth, premiering July 3rd via Universal Pictures.
Bad Bunny will serve as musical guest for the third time during Johansson’s episode. His sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, was released in January and spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 in the United States.
In February, to celebrate the 50th season, a three-hour anniversary special featuring an extensive lineup of SNL alumni and celebrities aired. Other specials also aired, including SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night, and Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music.
It was previously announced that Quinta Brunson would host the 18th episode of the 50th season of SNL on May 3rd. Benson Boone, who recently made headlines mocking the crowd at his second Coachella set, will be the musical guest.
Goggins, the upcoming host, also made news recently as he praised a particularly controversial SNL parody of The White Lotus, despite co-star Aimee Lou Wood complaining about the sketch.
