This will mark Poehler’s third time hosting “SNL” since her departure from the cast in Season 34.

Who’s hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ on Oct. 11?
It’s the moment many “SNL” fans have been waiting for: the return of Amy Poehler.
Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Amy Poehler will host the famous sketch show on Saturday, Oct. 11.
Poehler, an “SNL” cast member from 2001 to 2008, has played a host of memorable characters during her “SNL” tenure, but her acting career is just as impressive. She famously portrayed Leslie Knope on “Parks and Recreation” and is the voice of Joy in the hit Disney movie, “Inside Out” and “Inside Out 2.” She also hosts the popular podcast, “Good Hang with Amy Poehler.”
Although Poehler is no stranger to Studio 8H, the Emmy-winner hasn’t hosted the show since 2015, when she co-hosted with friend and longtime “SNL” cast member Tina Fey.
Who is the musical guest for ‘Saturday Night Live’ on Oct. 11?
Singer Role Model will make his “SNL” debut this weekend.
Even if you’re unfamiliar with his name, you’ve likely heard his biggest song, “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out,” which has gone viral thanks to the singer inviting celebrities, such as Hillary Duff, Olivia Rodrigo, and even “SNL” castmember Bowen Yang, on stage to be his “Sally.”
Singer Role Model will make his “SNL” debut on Saturday, Oct. 11 as the show’s musical guest.

Although the singer has only released two studio albums (“Rx” in 2022 and “Kansas Anymore” in 2024), the singer’s popularity is growing thanks to his comedic internet presence.
