“SNL” Books Next Two Shows, Stays Away from Oscar Race with Aubrey Plaza, Michael B. Jordan

Share

“Saturday Night Live” returns for two shows in January, but neither one of them will feature Oscar hopefuls as hosts.

Aubrey Plaza of “The White Lotus” will host on January 21st and Michael B. Jordan will promote his “Creed III” on January 28th.

Their respective musical guests will be Sam Smith and Lil Baby. I can’t say either of them excite me, but someone will be happy no doubt.

“SNL” has picked up its ratings thanks to the Steve Martin-Martin Short episode in December. But they also return without Cecily Strong, so we’ll see how the cast does without their longtime colleague.
