In promotional material, Druski is seen hosting the show, surrounded by Sarah Sherman and The Strokes, announcing, \"Hi, I’m Druski, and I’ll be the host and musical guest on SNL this week!\" However, the band's representatives respond to Druski's query about taking on both roles, with frontman Julian Casablancas telling her, \"But yes, yes we can.\" The band, known for their appearances on SNL in 2002, 2006, and 2011, recently released their album \"Reality Awaits\" on July this year. SNL will air at 11:30 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. PT on NBC, as well as stream on Peacock.",
