Who are the upcoming SNL hosts?

Mikey Madison is set to achieve another career milestone with her first SNL hosting role, following her Best Actress victory at the 2025 Academy Awards for Anora, which also won Best Picture that evening. Maybe Studio 8H will give Sarah Sherman's cancelled "Anora Menorah" scene, which was featured during Madison's visit on Late Night with Seth Meyers, an opportunity to shine.
If all goes as planned, Morgan Wallen will be the musical guest that evening. Originally scheduled to make his SNL debut in October 2020, the country music star—who is releasing his most recent album, I'm the Problem—was replaced by Jack White and rescheduled for the following December after viral videos showed him attending parties without masks and without adhering to social distance rules.

Host: Jack Black

Jack Black will appear on Saturday Night Live as the first host of April 2025, the day after his latest video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie, opens in theatres. The Golden Globe nominee is performing for the fourth time and for the first time in twenty years.
The Studio 8H audience will still be treated to the unique coupling of Elton John and Brandi Carlile that evening, even if Black's band, Tenacious D, will not be the musical guest. The title track from Elton John's Disney+ documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late, has earned the veteran and up-and-coming icon a nomination for the Best Original Song Oscar. The latter played at SNL50: The Homecoming Concert.

Host: Jon Hamm

It's difficult to think that Jon Hamm has only hosted Saturday Night Live three times, and it's even more unbelievable that his last formal appearance was fourteen years ago. As recently as May 2024, the Emmy-winning former cast member of Mad Men has made numerous amusing cameos on the show. His new Apple TV TV show, You Friends and Neighbours, premieres the night before he returns to Studio 8H.
That evening, Lizzo, who curiously costarred with the previous week's host, Jack Black, in a weird episode of Season 3's The Mandalorian, also made her fourth appearance on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest. In 2022, the pop star and gifted flute player made her debut hosting appearance in addition to her second musical guest performance.
