  "account": "Recent reports confirm that Druski will be hosting an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL). While it is debatable whether Druski is the first \"online content creator\" to host the show, as other social media influencers like Quinta Brunson and Issa Rae have also made the transition to television. Druski's legitimacy as an online content creator could be challenged by his upcoming scripted Netflix series in December, but SNL may legitimize his status as an established talent. The Strokes will perform as the musical guest for the episode airing on November 7. John Mulaney, a former SNL writer and comedian, will take the helm for his seventh time, supporting the Prime Video movie Madden. He will be joined by musical guest Phoebe Bridgers, who is rumored to play a pigeon or rodent during the show's sketch \"Diner Lobster.\" This episode is set to air on November 14.",
