The main stage of Saturday Night Live where an episode host will perform the opening monologue
Saturday Night Live (SNL ) is an American late-night sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels .[ 1] It premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the title NBC's Saturday Night .[ 2] The show usually satirizes contemporary American popular culture and politics.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] SNL features a two-tiered cast: the repertory cast members, and newer cast members known as "Featured Players."[ 6] A typical episode of SNL features a single host, who delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast. The format also features a musical guest, and a number of episodes have featured celebrity cameos.[ 7] [ 8]
George Carlin was the first to host the show.[ 9] Candice Bergen was both the first female host in November 8, 1975, and the first to host a second time in December of the same year.[ 10] [ 11] On occasion, the episode's host also serves as the musical guest; the first was Paul Simon on October 18, 1975.[ 12] The most recent to pull double duty was Timothée Chalamet on January 25, 2025.[ 13] The Rolling Stones are the only band to ever serve as both host and musical guest during the same episode, which aired October 7, 1978.[ 14] Guests who host five times become members of the Five-Timers Club , introduced on the December 8, 1990, episode, when Tom Hanks became the seventh person to host their fifth episode.[ 15]
The list below shows the people who have appeared on the show. It is split into three sections: "Host", if the person hosted the show at any given time; "Musical guest", if a person was the musical guest on the show at any given time; and "Cameo", which is for a person who has appeared on the show but did not act as host or musical guest.
