Saturday Night Live Season 51: Bad Bunny, Amy Poehler and Sabrina Carpenter

NBC’s Saturday Night Live is rolling into its 51st season with a star-packed lineup. The show has announced its first three hosts for October, and it’s a mix of music, comedy, and pop culture favorites.

The season opens on October 4 with Bad Bunny stepping back into Studio 8H for his second time as host. The Puerto Rican superstar, who’s also fresh off announcing his highly anticipated world tour, will be paired with Doja Cat making her SNL musical guest debut. She’ll be performing songs off her fifth album, Vie, dropping September 26.

Bad Bunny, a three-time Grammy winner, is also celebrating the success of his latest record, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which critics have called one of his boldest projects yet. Expect fans to tune in not just for the sketches but also for the buzz surrounding his tour kickoff.

One week later, on October 11, comedy favorite Amy Poehler returns to the stage where she made her name. Poehler, who now co-hosts the podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler, will lead the show on a date that carries extra history—SNL’s original premiere date back in 1975.

She’ll be joined by Role Model, who is riding high on his first Billboard No. 1 with “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.” It’ll be his debut performance on the show.

Closing out the October stretch, October 18 belongs to Sabrina Carpenter. The pop star will both host and perform, making it her first turn as host and second time as musical guest. Carpenter’s album Man’s Best Friend just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and her appearance is expected to draw a massive young audience.
