Saturday Night Live is new tonight!
After the late-night comedy sketch series saw Jack Black serve as host and Jack White perform as musical guest on April 4, SNL is back for another episode on Saturday, April 11.
SNL went through a cast shakeup following its milestone 50th season. Devon Walker, Emil Wakim, Michael Longfellow, Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim all announced their exits, and the television series added some fresh faces to the mix for season 51, with Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson and Veronika Slowikowska all joining as featured players, alongside returnees Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline.
That group joined returning cast members Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Marcello Hernández, James Austin Johnson, Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson. Bowen Yang also rejoined, but he later exited SNL during the Dec. 13 episode.
