SNL Host Tonight: Comedian John Mulaney Returns For Fifth Time

John Mulaney will host Saturday Night Live tonight, marking his fifth time leading the show. The Emmy-winning comedian and former SNL writer is a fan favorite, sparking excitement ahead of the April 13 episode. Musical guest LCD Soundsystem will also perform.

Mulaney's hosting gig is trending as fans anticipate his signature monologues and sketches. His past appearances, including the viral "Diner Lobster" and "Bodega Bathroom" bits, have cemented his reputation as a reliable crowd-pleaser. NBC confirmed the booking earlier this week.

The episode comes during a strong season for SNL, which has drawn attention for political satire and high-profile hosts. Mulaney’s return follows recent appearances by A-listers like Ryan Gosling and Sydney Sweeney. Social media is already buzzing with predictions for tonight’s sketches.

Mulaney last hosted in February 2022, shortly after his personal life made headlines. His comeback is seen as a return to form, with fans eager for his sharp, self-deprecating humor. The show airs at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC and streams next day on Peacock.
