Is ‘Saturday Night Live’ New Tonight (October 17, 2026)? Host & Musical Guest Details
Saturday Night Live is airing a new episode on 17 October, with comedian Druski making his hosting debut and the Strokes as musical guests. A promotional joke in which Druski claimed it would be the show’s last episode drew attention, but the article says the programme is not ending.
The episode follows a recent Halloween-themed instalment featuring Inde Navarrette and Gracie Abrams, with Tom Hanks returning as David S. Pumpkins. The Strokes will make their fifth appearance on SNL; the show is scheduled for 11.30 pm ET on NBC and will also stream on Peacock.
In short
- Druski hosts SNL for the first time.
- The Strokes return as musical guests for their fifth appearance.
- The “last show ever” claim was a joke.
