Also making their SNL debut that week are alternative rock band Twenty One Pilots, who will serve as musical guest for the episode.
I have a bit of a week next week, Miranda tweeted after SNL announced he would host. My favorite SNL episode: Fred Savage, musical guest Technotronic. Couldnt believe a kid my age was on SNL. And SO GOOD. 1990.Although Miranda left the title role of Alexander Hamilton in his groundbreaking musical, its likely hell return to the role for the inevitableHamilton parodySNL writers create.
The 42nd season of SNL kicks off October 1st with Margot Robbie as host and the Weeknd as musical guest. The eighth Greatest TV Show of All Time also recently announced a trio of new cast additions Mikey Day, Alex Moffat and Melissa Villaseor following the exit of featured players Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah.
