SNL season 51 start date info

[Street Hunger]

NBC News: After a whirlwind 50th anniversary season, the late night comedy staple will return on Saturday, October 4, 2025 to launch what we can only hope is its next half-century on NBC and Peacock.

In a lot of ways, it feels like Season 50 just ended, but the finale hosted by Scarlett Johansson aired back on May 17. The Jurassic World Rebirth star, who marked her seventh episode, co-starred in two sketches with Musical Guest Bad Bunny and became the most frequent female Host in SNL history. It's just one more milestone to celebrate amid a hugely eventful year.

Iirc, 6 regular cast members from last season are gone. The short video guys are out as well with one of the member kept as the new regular cast member.

It should be somewhat different, but I don't think it will be any better. Looking forward for them making fun of Trump and friends though.

I kind of like when there's a big cast shakeup, only because it's fun to figure out which new cast members are funny, because experience tells us that no matter how the show is, a few of these people that were being introduced to now are going to be comedy stars and movies etc down the road

Sort of like scouting for comedy talent, maybe

Only actually funny cast member right now is Marcello Hernandez.

Those three writer guys who did the pre-recorded sketches, those sketches were funnier than almost any of the live stuff

Just so long as they keep the Weekend Update crew in tact.

Heard Michael Che was one foot out of SNL. But from the latest news, he is in this season. So yeah, more Jost and Che.
