SNL Announces New Hosts and Musical Guests: Lady Gaga and Shane Gillis Set to Take the Stage

“Saturday Night Live” is keeping the momentum going after its 50th anniversary celebration, with two exciting episodes on the horizon. Lady Gaga will take on double duty as host and musical guest, and comedian Shane Gillis will also make his return to the iconic stage.

On March 1, Shane Gillis will host “SNL” for the second time. He’ll be joined by Canadian singer Tate McRae, who’s set to perform songs from her upcoming third album, So Close to What, dropping in late February.

On March 8, Lady Gaga will host for the second time and perform for the fifth. Her highly anticipated new album, Mayhem, will be released just a day before her SNL appearance, making it the perfect stage for new music and surprises.

Gillis’s journey with “SNL” has been complicated—he was originally hired as a cast member in 2019 but was fired before his debut due to resurfaced podcast clips that drew backlash. Gillis apologized, saying he’s a “comedian who pushes boundaries.”

Since then, he’s found success as the star and co-creator of Netflix’s Tires, now heading into its second season. He also hosted SNL last February.

“SNL” is still riding high after its blockbuster 50th-anniversary special, which drew nearly 15 million viewers and became NBC’s most-watched prime-time entertainment show in five years. With fresh faces and powerhouse musical talent lined up, the show is set to keep audiences tuned in.
