Saturday Night Live <\/em>will hit the ground running with Season 51, scheduled to premiere in October. The follow-up to an elaborate 50th anniversary celebration, the latest season is set to kick off on October 4 with Bad Bunny returning to host, accompanied by Doja Cat as musical guest. The fun continues the following weekend with Amy Poehler and Role Model, followed by Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s double duty takeover as both host and musical guest.<\/p>\n Carpenter made her SNL <\/em>debut last year on an episode hosted by Jake Gyllenhaal. She performed her hit single \u201cEspresso,\u201d then mashed up \u201cNonsense\u201d and \u201cFeather\u201d from her 2022 album Emails I Can\u2019t Send<\/em>. Since then, she\u2019s released two more monster pop records, Short n\u2019 Sweet <\/a><\/em>and Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em>. <\/a><\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n In February, Carpenter opened the SNL50<\/em> anniversary special with a duet of \u201cHomeward Bound\u201d <\/a>with Paul Simon. That same night, the pop star guest-starred<\/a><\/span> in a sketch<\/a> that brought back Marcello Hernandez\u2019s viral character Domingo and introduced his two brothers: Pedro Pascal\u2019s Ronaldo and Bad Bunny\u2019s Santiago.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny last hosted SNL <\/em>in October 2023, when he filled the double duty slot with performances of \u201cUn Preview\u201d and \u201cMonaco.\u201d He returned as musical guest in May 2025 with \u201cNUEVAYoL\u201d and \u201cPerfumito Nuevo\u201d with RaiNao from his latest album, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/a>. <\/em>With Bad Bunny as host, Doja Cat readies her SNL <\/em>debut. Known for her standout television performances, it\u2019s surprising to see the rapper and singer reach this particular milestone so far into her career, but it comes just in time for her latest album Vie,<\/em> out Sept. 26.<\/p>\n Role Model will also make his performance debut on the Oct. 11 episode hosted by Poehler. His single \u201cSally, When the Wine Runs Out\u201d<\/a> arrived earlier this year and has since become a career-defining record for the musician. Meanwhile, Poehler\u2019s hosting slot is a grand homecoming. She last hosted in December 2015 with Tina Fey. Now, she\u2019ll be helming the show solo for the first time in 15 years.<\/p>\n SNL <\/em>lost a major slate of cast members <\/a>in the lead-up to Season 51. Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Emil Wakim, Michael Longfellow, and Devon Walker announced departures from the show in recent days. Maybe major pop stars and veteran comedians can fill the gap.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
