Latest Update: Saturday Night Live Season 51
Link: https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/september-6-2025-snl-host-and-musical-guest
We're less than a month away from Saturday Night Live Season 51.
New episodes begin on October 4. No Host or Musical Guest has been announced yet, but the cast is beginning to take shape. Five new cast members will be joining the show this season including one very familiar redhead.
Ben Marshall, also known as 1/3 of the comedy trio Please Don't Destroy, is joining the cast as a featured player. He has been a writer on SNL since 2021, and appeared in Digital Shorts with fellow members Martin Herlihy and John Higgins from Season 47 to Season 50.
Marshall will be joined by newcomers Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson, and Veronika Slowikowska. While none of the other newbies have been appearing on SNL for the past four years, they all have significant followings on social platforms like TikTok. That means you've got time to check out their work ahead of their Studio 8H debut.
The locked-in final Season 51 cast lineup has yet to be revealed, but all confirmed info on the new season can be found on NBC Insider as soon as it's available. Bookmark that page and check back throughout the rest of the month for news.

I guess the rumors are true ... Lorne Michaels is NOT retiring as executive producer, otherwise there would have been a big story about his replacement.

I don't think they'll bring her back as a regular player though. Cecily has had so many great characters over the years, same with Kate McKinnon. The two of them could do their own comedy show. McKinnon has been the guest star at least 2 or 3 times already. FYI Cecily gained some weight during the Covid lockdown and I think she was embarrassed by it.
