Who’s hosting Saturday Night Live tonight, February 6?
By Matt Moore
Saturday Night Live is back tonight with a brand new episode. So who will be the latest name added to season 46’s list of hosts?
So far this season, five hosts have come to Studio 8H for the first time: Bill Burr, Issa Rae, Adele, Timothee Chalamet, and John Krasinski. All have brought something different to the show and all have performed well.
Schitt’s Creek creator and star Dan Levy will look to do the same tonight. He will be the host of tonight’s all-new Saturday Night Live. He’ll be joined by musical guest Phoebe Bridgers. You can read our preview right here including a look at the challenges Levy will face as the host.
It may be Levy’s first time hosting SNL but there is no denying his comedy chops. Schitt’s Creek is one of the most successful sitcoms of all-time, earning Levy an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2020.
If Levy needs advice on how to handle the pressures of Saturday Night Live, he has options. His father/Schitt’s Creek co-star Eugene Levy starred in the Canadian sketch series SCTV alongside fellow Schitt’s Creek star Catherine O’Hara. O’Hara also hosted Saturday Night Live in 1991 and 1992.
How to watch Saturday Night Live tonight
We saw last week just how eager Saturday Night Live fans were for a new show after SNL hadn’t been on air since mid-December. John Krasinski helped deliver a solid, consistent show but one that had a few bumpy moments along the way.
Things should run a little more smoothly tonight. It seems like Dan Levy hasn’t missed since Schitt’s Creek took off and tonight’s brand new Saturday Night Live should be another hit for the actor.
