Is SNL new tonight? May 30 episode host & musical guest
No new episode of Saturday Night Live airs on May 30; the Season 51 finale ran on May 16 and the show is now on its usual summer hiatus before returning in the fall for Season 52. Tonight’s broadcast is a re-air of the January 24, 2026 episode, which marked Teyana Taylor’s hosting debut.
Her highlights included the gate-agent sketch with Kenan Thompson, a mock commercial for One Battle After Another action figures, and a send-up of NFL on-field reporting. Brooklyn garage rockers Geese made their SNL debut on that episode as the musical guest, performing “Au Pays du Cocaine” and “Trinidad.” Earlier this month the show delivered an unforgettable three-episode run, featuring Olivia Rodrigo’s double-duty May 2 debut, Matt Damon’s May 9 revival of a favorite political impression and a viral “Auctioneers” sketch with Sarah Sherman, and Will Ferrell’s triumphant return with Chad Smith doubling for his monologue, a Molly Shannon cameo, and a Paul McCartney appearance that included two songs after the sign-off.
