‘SNL’ Sets December Return With Amanda Seyfried as Host & Don Toliver as Musical Guest

Saturday Night Live (SNL) is set to return in December with Amanda Seyfried as its new host and Don Toliver as its first musical guest. The upcoming episode will air on December 5th. Seyfried will be making her hosting debut on the sketch comedy series, while Toliver's musical guest performance will mark his first time on the show.

SNL is currently taking a three-week break following its November 14th episode, which was hosted by John Mulaney and featured Phoebe Bridgers as the musical guest. Seyfried's hosting debut comes at a busy time for the actress, who recently starred in the documentary "You Can See Everything" about former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes.

Toliver, on the other hand, has had a milestone year in 2026, releasing his album "NITROUS" and collaborating with Drake on tracks "Cold Shoulder" and "Solar Eclipse." The rapper and singer, who is also featured in Billboard's early predictions for the 2027 Grammy Awards' best new artist category, has been actively teasing his next project.

The upcoming SNL episode will be part of the show's 52nd season, which began on September 26th with New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson making his hosting debut and KATSEYE serving as the musical guest. Throughout the season, SNL has welcomed a variety of hosts and musical guests, including Dakota Johnson, Shane Gillis, Inde Navarrette, Druski, and Phoebe Bridgers.
