“Saturday Night Live” is going to stage a December comeback!
This Saturday, the host is Keke Palmer and the musical guest is SZA. On December 10th they’ve got Steve Martin and Martin Short together as hosts, with Brandi Carlile as musical guest.
The show will close out the fall season on December 17th with “Elvis” Austin Butler, and musical group the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Butler, hopefully, will do some Elvis on the show. He’ll be in the thick of awards season by then.
With this Saturday’s show, “SNL” continues pairing Black hosts with Black musicians. I wonder if NBC tells them do one a Black week, then a white week. I mean, it would have been better to have Brandi Carlile with Keke Palmer, and SZA with the Martins. Oh well.
The show’s ratings have been very meh this season. Maybe all this will take things up a notch.
