“Saturday Night Live” has scheduled Maya Rudolph and Vampire Weekend as musical guests to co-host the May 11 episode, while Sabrina Carpenter will perform on the May 18 broadcast, which will be hosted by Jake Gyllenhaal.
During her seven-season tenure from 2000 to 2007, Rudolph was a member of the “SNL” cast. She is making her third appearance as host of the late-night sketch program, having done so in 2012 with musical guest Sleigh Bells and in 2021 alongside Jack Harlow. She is presently an executive producer and protagonist of the Apple TV+ comedy “Loot.” Her notable credits additionally consist of “Sisters,” “Bridesmaids,” “The Good Place,” and “Big Mouth.” Presently on tour is Vampire Weekend in support of its fifth studio album, “Only God Was Above Us.” The group’s fourth appearance on “SNL” will occur on May 11. “Father of the Bride,” “Vampire Weekend,” “Contra,” and “Modern Vampires of the City” are among their previous albums.
In addition to leading episodes in 2022 opposite Camila Cabello and 2007 featuring the Shins as musical guests, Gyllenhaal will serve as the third-time host of the Season 49 finale of “SNL.” The actor most recently appeared in an Amazon Prime Video remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze film “Road House” and will next be seen in “Presumed Innocent,” an Apple TV+ title which he also serves as an executive producer for. “Nightcrawler,” “Donnie Darko,” “Brokeback Mountain,” and “Zodiac” are among his most recognizable works.
Carpenter is scheduled to make her “SNL” inaugural appearance. “Espresso,” her most recent single to enter the Billboard Top 10, was her most recent release. She rose to prominence as a musician after establishing herself as an actress, primarily featured on the Disney Channel series “Girl Meets World.” “Eyes Wide Open,” “Singular: Act I,” “Singular: Act II,” “Evolution,” and “Emails I Cannot Send” are among her previous albums.
