Is Saturday Night Live new tonight, February 6?
By Matt Moore
Saturday Night Live fans rejoiced last week as the show finally returned for its first show of 2021. Will it be two weeks in a row tonight?
John Krasinski got the second half of season 46 started last week with a consistently funny performance. It continued the season’s trend of first-time hosts performing well. The show also saw fan-favorite cast member Aidy Bryant return after spending much of the season filming her show Shrill.
Saturday Night Live will give another first-time host the chance to shine tonight. There is a brand new episode of Saturday Night Live tonight!
Schitt’s Creek creator and star Dan Levy will be the host. He’s joined by musical guest Phoebe Bridgers, who is also making her SNL debut. You can read our preview right here including a look at Levy’s biggest challenge as he walks onto the Studio 8H stage.
How to watch Saturday Night Live
On last week’s episodes, there were a few signs of rust as Saturday Night Live returned for the first time since Dec. 19. It was to be expected considering the time off and the challenging circumstances of making a show during a pandemic.
But with a week under their collective belt and the return of Aidy Bryant, things should be back on track tonight. Dan Levy brings with him a lot of hype thanks to the popularity of Schitt’s Creek. The Emmy winner may be slightly out of his element in sketch comedy but it’s in his blood. Expect a great performance.
Phoebe Bridgers is another talented artist with a passionate fanbase. In a time when live performances have been limited, fans are eager to see Bridgers play songs off her Grammy-nominated album Punisher. Here are the details you need to know about tonight’s all-new Saturday Night Live:
