Saturday nights are the one night of the week we look forward to. There’s a mixture of comedy and music thanks to Saturday Night Live, and you will not want to miss the Nov. 8 episode.
Saturday Night Live season 51 episode 5 will give us a musical guest you likely know without knowing. It’s all about social media, baby! Most specifically, it’s all about TikTok. So, strap in and get ready for a night of comedy with these details.
What time does Saturday Night Live season 51 episode 5 air on NBC?
As usual, you’ll need to wait until Saturday, Nov. 8, for the new episode. It will air at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT, because this is as live as the title tells you! Make sure you’re ready for a night of entertainment.
If you have cut the cord, NBC makes it possible to watch the show in a variety of ways. You can opt for the website, or you can use YouTube TV, Fubo TV, and other similar platforms that have made it possible to watch live without cable.
Can you not stay up that late? Look, I get it! I’m getting old and don’t tend to stay up after 10 p.m. anymore, so an 11:30 p.m. start is late for me. The great news is you can catch up with the episode the following day on Peacock. Peacock TV releases tend to happen around 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT, so look out for it then on Sunday, Nov. 9.
Who is the host of Saturday Night Live on November 8?
The November 8 episode of Saturday Night Live features Nikki Glaser as the host. This is the comedian’s longtime dream coming true, and she has been honing the monologue in the best way possible — taking it to the New York comedy clubs! She even told Seth Meyers on Late Night back on Monday, Nov. 3, that this was something she was preparing for.
Glaser has risen in fame over recent years, despite being on the comedy scene since the 2000s. She’s certainly making a name for herself with the roasting of celebrities on Comedy Central, with the Tom Brady roast being her breakup moment. It’ll certainly be fun to see what she can do hosting SNL.
Who is Sombr, the musical guest on SNL season 51 episode 5?
Like every episode, there’s a musical guest, and this one is someone you’ve likely heard a lot on TikTok. Sombr, who was born Shane Michael Boost, is known for TikTok hits like “Back to Friends” and “Undressed,” and he isn’t afraid to make fun of himself for a laugh.
His musical influences have been Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and Radiohead, and you can certainly hear them in the tracks.
Get ready for his performance on SNL tonight, Saturday, Nov. 8 on NBC.
