Saturday Night Live has been airing for decades and is one of the most important comedy shows on television, but this weekend will feature the season finale with two major stars from the industry.
Jake Gyllenhaal has been chosen to host, and he will be accompanied by Sabrina Carpenter as the musical guest. The Donnie Darko actor will be responsible for performing several ironic sketches.
During the promotion of the episode, which was published on Thursday the 17th, we see the popular figures join comedian Bowen Yang to give some hints about what we can expect to see during the SNL finale.
How to watch the SNL’s season finale online
The 49th edition of SNL is coming to an end, and it’s time to see how they go out with a bang. The broadcast will air on NBC starting at 11:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM PT and will be available on Peacock the following day.
The season finale of Saturday Night Live will mark the end of a series of episodes that took place in 2024 and will feature two of the most well-known artists in the industry, especially this year.
Season finales usually feature high-profile special guests, both as hosts and musical guests, so it’s no surprise that Jake Gyllenhaal and Sabrina Carpenter have been chosen as the headliners.
Were Jake Gyllenhaal and Sabrina Carpenter ever together on SNL?
Jake Gyllenhaal and Sabrina Carpenter have never appeared together on a television show, and certainly not on Saturday Night Live, as this will be the first time the singer participates in the comedy show as a musical guest.
The actor from the remake of Road House has a bit more experience on the series, having hosted twice before, in January 2007 and in April 2022, making this his third appearance on SNL.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the season finale, not only because the stars are two of the most popular of 2024, but also because they have a mutual acquaintance: Taylor Swift.
That’s right, the “Espresso” singer is a close friend of the pop icon, and everyone knows that the actor has a history with her, even having a song dedicated to him, the popular hit “All Too Well”.
