SNL Tonight: What Time & Channel Is ‘Saturday Night Live’ On TV?
Tonight, Saturday Night Live returns with an all-new episode, which will air live at the local time of 11:29 p.m.
– 1:02 a.m.
West coast will be on time delay.
Sam Rockwell is set to host the show, with Halsey as the musical guest performer, according to Billboard.
Rockwell is fresh off of his Golden Globe Awards win for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Hollywood Life now reports that Rockwell has a good shot at the Oscars.
When Rockwell accepted his win at the Golden Globes, he said, “Yeah, baby! Wow! Man, forgive me I’m a little excited so I may need this piece of paper and an Imodium … It’s nice to be in a movie that people see.
Thanks to everyone who worked on this film.
It’s an amazing cast, a very generous [one].
I’m forever grateful for this amazing part … Francis McDormand — you’re a badass, a force of nature, and it was really fun to be your sparring partner and thanks for making me a better actor.
This movie is about compassion and I think we need some of that these days.” According to People, Rockwell’s win sparked a debate on social media because his character was a hateful Missouri police officer named Jason Dixon.
As for performer Halsey, she’s had a big few months, with her album “Hopeless Fountain Kingdom” hitting No.1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart over the summer, according to Billboard.
She also has two hits out right now – “Bad at Love” and “Him & I” with G-Eazy, so there’s a good chance she is performing at least one of these songs for her SNL appearance.
