Saturday Night Live's massive 50th season is set to close out next month. The show will welcome to A-list stars to help finish the year.

On May 10, Walton Goggins makes his SNL debut and hosts for the first time. He's coming off a huge hit in The White Lotus sesaon 3, as well as the final season of The Righteous Gemstones.

Arcade Fire returns to SNL as the musical guest supporting Goggins. The band has a long, collaborative history with the show and that continues in season 50.

Then, Scarlett Johansson is back to host the season 50 finale on May 17. It marks the seventh time the actress has hosted Saturday Night Live. She'll be on to promote her upcoming summer blockbuster, Jurassic World Rebirth.

Bad Bunny, another friend of the show, will be the musical guest that night. He last appeared in 2023 before appearing during the 50th anniversary special.

Johansson getting the call to host will get the most attention. She's always great on the show, whether as a host or a cameo.

But plenty will be made about her marriage to cast member and "Weekend Update" host Colin Jost. Her live reaction to Jost and Michael Che exchanging jokes during the Christmas episode remains a highlight of the season.

It also adds to the speculation that Jost may walk away from Saturday Night Live after this season. What better way to sign off than with an episode hosted by the wife he met while working at 30 Rock?

We'll find out soon enough. Until then, SNL returns on May 3 with host Quinta Brunson and musical guest Benson Boone.
