After a two-week hiatus, “Saturday Night Live” returned with a new episode Dec. 6 with host Melissa McCarthy and musical guest Dijon, marking McCarthy’s sixth time hosting, her first since 2017, and Dijon’s “SNL” debut.

The 51st season of Saturday Night Live continues here in 2026, with a new set of hosts and musical guests who will perform. And if you're here, you might be getting ready to watch SNL on Saturday night, Jan. 17, 2025 and wondering: Is it all new tonight? If not, is it a rerun? Who's hosting?

Actor and musician Finn Wolfhard is slated to emcee the first show of 2026. The "Stranger Things" and "It" star joins the likes of Glen Powell, Melissa McCarthy, Josh O'Connor and Ariana Grande in hosting "SNL" during season 51.

The new Jan. 17 episode of "SNL" will be hosted by Finn Wolfhard in his hosting debut. Wolfhard's gig comes just weeks after the finale of "Stranger Things" dropped on Netflix Dec. 31. Wolfhard starred in the show as Mike Wheeler since it premiered in 2016.
