He has a movie with Mila Kunis called Goodrich that comes out the day before. I'd put money down there will be a Beetlejuice themed sketch as well.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

Speaking of film promotion, I'm kind of surprised that Ariana Grande would host over a month before Wicked comes out.

When will the 50th Anniversary show be? November or February?

Is this the first time Michael Keaton has hosted? I doubt it but I can't remember him on the show before.

Also : Do you think they will not have any former cast regulars as hosts this season, instead saving them for the 50 Anniversary Special?
He's not a superstar, but he's not in the "who's that?" category that meets some SNL guests, and of the 10 announced guests, he and Roan are probably the smallest stars, and they are both pretty famous.

Will Ferrell has a movie coming out in 2025, so that's a hosting possibility. Now that there podcast has become so popular, Carvey and Spade (or just Carvey) is a possibility. Aidy Bryant left two years ago and has not been back since.

Why would Hugh Jackman host SNL? He hosted 25 years ago when he was just getting known. He doesn't need SNL for anything now.

I know 8 of the 10 G/MGs.

Don't know Jelly Roll or Chappell Roan. I only know Bargatze because I saw him host last year (which didn't impress me) - but nothing else.

I know I'm biased, and they do have fans, but I really wish the world would stop trying to make Coldplay happen.

Yeah, that's a better way of putting it. I know they had popular songs in the 90s but god they were so toothless and boring. And every time it seems like they're gone for good, they get some appearance like the Super Bowl and now SNL, trying to make them big again.

Early Aughts. Debut album came out in 2000.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread



Lorne Michaels has Nate Bargatze back to host just a year after his first outing.
And while his talents as a comedian suggest Bargatze deserves to be back in Studio 8H, it's unusual for Saturday Night Live to bring a host back so quickly. What may have been the norm in the show's early days has become less common thanks to SNL casting such a wide net over hosts.

But Bargatze clearly made a strong impression on Lorne Michaels. The SNL boss will executive produce a primetime holiday variety special starring Bargatze later this year. So there's a pretty good reason Michaels wants Bargatze back in front of a national audience in October.

The untitled special from Bargatze and Michaels will air on Paramount+ in December. Filming will take place at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. It's expected to have something for everyone and all ages as Bargatze oversees stand-up comedy, sketches an,d musical performances.

Yeah, you know they never really achieved massive worldwide popularity as a band, but just had a few hits, because they were never asked to do those things that the really big acts do, like play the Super Bowl Halftime show.

. . .Oh, wait!

I wonder if that's the longest time between SNL musical guest return appearances (or even for hosting).
The time between Paul Simon's first appearance and his last is 43 years, but he's had a bunch in-between.

Pop culture is so balkanized these days, I'm really not sure which actors, musicians, and comedians are actually "household names" these days.

Is this the first time Michael Keaton has hosted? I doubt it but I can't remember him on the show before.
1982 (promoting Night Shift), 1992 (Batman Returns), and 2015 (Birdman).

He's one show away from getting a jacket!

That does not make any sense

So if you are already famous or a huge star you are barred from hosting SNL?

Read it again.
Why would Hugh Jackman host SNL? He hosted 25 years ago when he was just getting known. He doesn't need SNL for anything now.
SNL does not have anything to offer him. Why would he do it?

You repeatedly post these questions about why this famous person or that famous person isn't hosting SNL. Why do you think all these famous people want to go through it? Everyone who hosts says that even though it is just a one week commitment, it is a lot of work and stressful. A giant star like Hugh Jackman is only going to host SNL if he really wants to host SNL. He does not need the publicity that SNL offers. The big established movie stars that host SNL (like Emma Stone or Tom Hanks) do it because they love it. Some big stars do it because they grew up watching SNL, and so the show means something to them. SNL does not hold any significance to Hugh Jackman.

Yep, he hosted SNL in 2001 when he was still establishing himself in American movies. His first major Hollywood role was Wolverine in 2000. Hugh Jackman does not need to publicize himself or his movies by hosting SNL in 2024. How does that not make complete sense?

Yes, some people --some I already mentioned, love SNL and have a personal desire to be involved with the show. Hugh Jackman is not one of those people. Why would he be? He is Australian. He did not grow up watching SNL. SNL is not anything in Australian culture. The show means nothing to him. When he was just breaking out in Hollywood and making himself known to American audiences, he hosted SNL because he was wrangled into doing it because that is how actors publicize themselves and their projects to American audiences. He does not need to do something like that anymore. He's a huge star and if he had any interest in hosting SNL, they would have him on like that ['snap"]. He does not want to host SNL.

Re: SNL General Discussion Thread

TBD a new channel I think you can pick up with a digital antennae or watch on their website is airing classic SNL shows.

Carvey and Spade were promoting it on their podcast.
