“Saturday Night Live” is back to bring more laughs this weekend.
The legendary sketch comedy show, currently celebrating its 50th season, has brought in A-list celebrities, including Michael Keaton, Chris Rock, Paul Mescal and Ariana Grande, to host this season.
Remarkably, three of this season’s hosts — Charli XCX, Timothée Chalamet and, most recently, Lady Gaga on March 8 — pulled double duty by also performing as the musical guest.
The show’s birthday high jinks are far from over: Mikey Madison, Jack Black and Jon Hamm are all scheduled to host “SNL” before season 50 wraps. Here’s what to know about this weekend’s episode of “SNL.”
Is ‘SNL’ new March 22?
No, there is not a new episode of “Saturday Night Live” set to air March 22.
“SNL” is re-airing two fan favorite episodes, including, at 11:30 p.m. ET, a re-broadcast of the hilarious show Martin Short hosted on Dec. 21, 2024.

In his episode’s cold open, the “Only Murders in the Building” star was inducted into the show’s Five-Timers club (for hosts who’ve hosted five times). He was joined by fellow Five-Timers including Melissa McCarthy, Scarlett Johansson, John Mulaney, Emma Stone and fellow “SNL” alums Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig.
Hozier performed as the episode’s musical guest.
Before that, at 10 p.m. ET, catch a re-broadcast of the episode Emma Stone hosted on Dec. 2, 2023.

That’s the episode when Stone — who met her husband, former “SNL” segment director Dave McCary, behind the scenes at the show — was inducted into the Five-Timers club by Fey and former “Murphy Brown” star Candice Bergen.
The episode featured musical guest Noah Kahan.
When is the next new ‘SNL’ episode?
“Saturday Night Live” will return with a batch of new episodes starting on March 29, when “Anora” star Mikey Madison will host, joined by musical guest Morgan Wallen.
Then, Jack Black will host on April 5, with musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile, followed by Jon Hamm and performer Lizzo on April 12.
