Saturday Night Live Announced Who Will Host Season Opener

Saturday Night Live has announced that Adam Driver will host the Season 44 Premiere this year. Kanye West has been announced as the musical guest. The announcement was made during last night’s Primetime Emmy Awards hosted by Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update team, Colin Jost and Michael Che and then via a photo of the SNL scheduling bulletin board posted on Twitter.

This will be Driver’s second time hosting Saturday Night Live. He appeared in Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman which was released just a few weeks ago. This will be Kanye’s seventh time appearing on the show as musical guest.

The new season of Saturday Night Live kicks off on September 29th 2018 with no significant cast changes this year, with the exception of leaving behind freshman cast member Luke Null.
