Saturday night belongs to a familiar face at 30 Rock. John Mulaney returns to host Saturday Night Live tonight, Saturday, Nov. 14, at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock — his seventh time hosting, and a milestone that makes him the most prolific SNL host of the past decade.

Mulaney isn’t just a favorite guest — he’s family. He wrote for the show from 2008 to 2013, co-creating the iconic Stefon character with Bill Hader, and he joined the Five-Timers Club back in 2022. His last monologue was in November 2024, and his episodes have a reputation as some of the sharpest hours of sketch comedy the show produces. He’s currently on his “Mister Whatever” comedy tour, running through March 2027.

The music is just as stacked. Phoebe Bridgers is the musical guest, touring behind her most recent album, Lost Weekend, released in August. It’s her third time performing on SNL — twice solo and once with her group Boygenius — and her return is one of the most anticipated musical slots of the season.

Season 52 has been a heater so far: Jalen Brunson and KATSEYE opened the season, followed by Dakota Johnson, Shane Gillis, Inde Navarrette with Gracie Abrams, and last week’s Druski episode with The Strokes. Tonight’s Mulaney/Bridgers pairing might be the strongest one yet. Read our coverage of last week’s show: Druski to Host “SNL” Nov. 7 With The Strokes.
