Saturday Night Live is fresh from yet another successful Emmys run and ready to get back to business. NBC’s long-running sketch comedy series returns for its 47th season in just a few weeks. And while we still don’t know exactly which members from its funny cast are returning, we have our first glimpse and the hosts. SNL released the first four hosts and musical guests of the season. And among the four announced hosts are Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis.
Wilson is starting things off, hosting the October 2 season premiere, with Kacey Musgraves as musical guest. The funny man is fresh off his run as Mobius M. Mobius in Loki. He’s also starring in the new Wes Anderson film, The French Dispatch, which opens on October 22. We’re already manifesting SNL sketches featuring major Wes Anderson vibes, as well as just maybe finally giving us Mobius on a jet ski? As a little treat.
Kim Kardashian West is following things up on October 9, with Halsey serving as musical guest. And from there, Rami Malek picks up the hosting reins, with Young Thug as musical guest. Malek is hosting just a week after No Time to Die, in which he plays the villain, drops. Sure, we think he’ll do a perfectly fine job as host. Still, it’s a shame Daniel Craig and The Weeknd weren’t available to return for the gig.

And capping off the first set of hosts is Jason Sudeikis, which Lorne Michaels recently teased. The Ted Lasso star spent a decade at 30 Rock, working as a writer and then cast member. He’s hosting with Brandi Carlisle as musical guest. And what happens when many alums return, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for some fun cameos.
Meanwhile, the series has yet to confirm its cast. The end of season 46 strongly indicated the departure for several cast members. Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Pete Davidson among the group. However, the longest-tenured cast member, Kenan Thompson, is sticking around for at least another season. He’s previously indicated he’s hoping to hit 20 seasons. We’ll learn for sure who is joining Kenan and Lorne when the series returns with Owen Wilson at the center.
Saturday Night Live season 47 debuts on October 2.
