No New Episode Tonight: First Three 2026 Hosts Revealed

Fans of 'Saturday Night Live' will have to wait another week for new episodes. The beloved comedy series is not airing a new episode tonight, January 10, instead NBC is re-airing the November 8, 2025, episode hosted by Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser with musical guest sombr.

However, there's some good news: the show returns with new episodes in 2026. The first episode of the year will feature Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard making his hosting debut, accompanied by musical guest A$AP Rocky.

Wolfhard will be joined by other newcomers Teyana Taylor and Alexander Skarsgård as hosts for the following two episodes, respectively. Taylor's episode will feature musical guest Geese, while Skarsgård's installment will include Cardi B as the musical act.

New episodes of 'Saturday Night Live' are set to premiere next week on January 17, with Finn Wolfhard taking the reins and A$AP Rocky performing live. Additionally, fans can catch Taylor and Geese on January 24, and Skarsgård and Cardi B on January 31.

Viewers can tune in to watch new episodes of 'Saturday Night Live' on NBC, the NBC app, or NBC.com with a valid cable login. Alternatively, they can stream the show via various platforms such as Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DIRECTV, Peacock, or Sling TV.

On Peacock, new episodes will be available to watch live and on demand, starting from January 18. The platform also boasts an impressive library of 'Saturday Night Live' episodes, with all 51 seasons available for streaming.

That's like me finding an entire pizza by accident in my fridge... a beautiful thing

I'm actually kinda bummed they're re-airing the same episode tonight . Don't get me wrong, Nikki Glaser is hilarious, but I'd rather see some new faces host SNL next week, you know? And why Finn Wolfhard has to wait till January 17 feels like a whole lotta weeks . Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky's gonna be live on that one, though - he's always good for some crazy energy .
