Who Are the Season 48 Hosts of Saturday Night Live? The fans and regular watchers of the said show are wondering about this. And here we are with all the latest details about the host of all the episodes, along with the musical guests on the show.
The long-running sketch program has produced countless amusing moments, ranging from political comedy to the truly odd, and has acted as a launchpad for some of the best comedians over the past 50 years.
SNL was created by Lorne Michaels, who is still in charge and is rumored to stay that way through the series’ 50th season; however, there have been some cast adjustments, and new cast members have joined. Also, there is a new cycle of musical performers, unexpected visitors, and celebrity hosts each week.

Who Are the Season 48 Hosts of Saturday Night Live?
Episode 1: Miles Teller
Top Gun: Maverick actor Miles Teller headlined the season 48 premiere as special guest Kendrick Lamar took the stage. Teller also appeared in the “cold open” skit, which is unusual for a first-time host. The episode began with a “ManningCast” skit starring Miles Teller and Andrew Dismuke.
Teller, former NFL wide receiver Peyton Manning, and Dismukes, portraying Peyton Manning’s brother Eli, impacted several of the most important stories from the past few months while SNL was off. These things include the raid at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the likelihood that her corgis will not be attending Prince Andrew’s wedding, and more.
Episode 2: Brendan Gleeson
The cast makes a funny attempt to explain why the Try Guys fraud controversy made headlines. The sketch begins as a report conducted by SNL cast members Ego Nwodim, who will serve as the television news show’s server, and SNL episode presenter Brendan Gleeson, who will act as a live correspondent.
The fake interview, which recreates a video clip from the original Try Guys, interrupts Gleeson’s live White House broadcast as the trio discusses the repercussions of former Try Guys member and “Wife Man” Ned Fulmer’s adultery scandal was also featured.
Episode 3: Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion, the hostess and musical guest, tackled all the multiple names people call her during her introductory monologue, including Tina Snow, the Hot Chick Coach, the H-Town Hottie, or, to her “numerous, many haters,” “that bitch.” In case Bridgerton wanted to cast her, she also indicated that she is a skilled actress and has been working on her British accent.
Episode 4: Jack Harlow
Tom Hanks invited David S. Pumpkins back to frighten—or, more likely, confuse—more visitors to the haunted house.
Episode 5: Amy Schumer
The topic of abortion availability, the upcoming midterm elections, and even Amy Schumer’s husband’s autism spectrum disorder were all mentioned in her opening speech on Saturday Night Live. A few weeks before the “midterm abortions,” as the presenter referred to them during her standup before amending herself to say “elections,” was hosted for the third time by Amy Schumer.
Episode 6: Dave Chappelle
Dave Chappelle’s speech discussed Donald Trump, the midterm elections, and Kanye “Ye” West’s racist remarks. The comic gave a statement that he purported to have authored as his opening remark. “I reject racism in all of its manifestations.”
Chappelle focused much of his show on Kanye West, attacking the rapper and businessman for believing he was invincible until Adidas, among many other companies, fired him due to a slew of antisemitic remarks made in interviews as well as on social media.
Episode 7: Keke Palmer
The fake series, which gives an aged-up, dramatic perspective on the hilarious escapades the original children’s show was known for, was pitched by SNL presenter Keke Palmer as Kenan and Kelly.
Episode 8: Steve Martin and Martin Short
Martin Short and Steve Martin gave it their all during their combined monologue for Saturday Night Live, delivering each other’s tributes and shocking the audience with Selena Gomez’s surprise entrance.
Episode 9: Austin Butler
Austin Butler served as the show’s host, and Lizzo performed as a musical guest.
Episode 10: Aubrey Plaza
Presenter Aubrey Plaza welcomed musical performer Sam Smith. Throughout the program, President Joseph Biden and Amy Poehler made cameo appearances.
Episode 11: Michael B. Jordan
The episode’s host was Michael B. Jordan, while Lil Baby provided the musical guests.
Episode 12: Pedro Pascal
In his introductory monologue, presenter Pedro Pascal broke down in tears as he thanked his parents for moving him and his sister from Chile to the United States when they were little.
The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth episodes will feature Woody Harrelson as the host, Jack White as the guest, Travis Kelce as the host, Kelsea Ballerini as the musical guest, Jenna Ortega as the host, and 1975 as a guest.
