Bowen Yang’s final ‘Saturday Night Live’ exit
“SNL” cast member Bowen Yang announced he’s leaving the show in the middle of the 51st season, a crowd cheered his name after his last show.
New faces are slated to grace the “Saturday Night Live” stage this weekend.
A week after “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard brought the funny as host and musical guest A$AP Rocky brought the tunes, “One Battle After Another” star Teyana Taylor is up next to appear on the live comedy show.
The Golden Globe-winning actress is making her “Saturday Night Live” hosting debut alongside Indie rock band Geese, the first guest band of Season 51.
“What’s poppin’, y’all? It’s your girl, Teyana Taylor, and I will be hosting ‘SNL’ this week with Geese,” Taylor said in a Jan. 22 promo for the show.
Joining Taylor and Geese for the announcement was “SNL” cast member Marcello Hernández, who cracked various jokes, including one about the ensemble of celebs being his “dream brunch rotation” between “takes.”
Here’s what to know about the Jan. 24 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” including where to watch.
Who is hosting ‘SNL’ tonight? And who is performing?
First-time host Teyana Taylor will serve as the master of ceremonies with Geese performing.
