In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL), longtime pals and stars of the hit show “Only Murders in the Building,” Steve Martin and Martin Short, reunited to host the show together. It was a special moment for the duo, who had previously co-hosted SNL 36 years ago with Chevy Chase. During their joint monologue, they roasted each other and even poked fun at their past collaborations in the film “Father of the Bride.”
Another notable host on SNL was Pedro Pascal, known for his breakout role in “The Last of Us.” His performance on the show led to his first hosting gig on SNL, where he delighted the audience by speaking some Spanish, playing the role of a Latina mother, and even adapting the popular video game “Mario Kart” into a TV show.
Oliver Platt, known for his roles in “The West Wing,” “Huff,” and “Nip/Tuck,” could potentially earn his fifth Emmy nomination for his role in “The Bear.” On the show, Platt portrays Cicero, also known as Uncle Jimmy, a character who loans a significant amount of money to Carmy, putting her in a difficult situation.
Dave Chappelle, a controversial comedian, hosted SNL after the 2022 midterm elections and delivered a divisive monologue. Despite the controversies, Chappelle has proven to be a favorite among voters and has won the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his previous hosting gigs following the 2016 and 2020 elections.
