Bill Burr Set to Host Post-Election Episode ofSaturday Night Live
Tonight, November 2, Saturday Night Live (SNL) returns with a brand-new episode hosted by the always witty John Mulaney. Known for his quick humor and insightful commentary, Mulaney is an SNL veteran who first joined as a writer in 2008. His episode, featuring musical guest Chappell Roan, continues the streak of impressive hosts and musical artists celebrating SNL’s milestone 50th season. Mulaney’s appearances on the show are always eagerly anticipated, and tonight's episode is expected to be no different.
But there's more excitement on the horizon. Bill Burr, known for his stand-up comedy and sharp takes, will take the SNL stage on November 9, hosting the first post-election show. This will be his second time as host, and fans are curious to see how he'll handle the post-election atmosphere, especially given the high stakes of the recent presidential race. Traditionally, SNL has featured Dave Chappelle as the go-to post-election host, starting with his memorable monologue after the 2016 election. This time, however, SNL head Lorne Michaels has opted for Burr, a comedian with a similarly unfiltered approach to social commentary.

Burr’s comedy often tackles current events and controversial issues, sometimes drawing sharp criticism but always sparking conversation. This post-election episode will also feature musical guest Mk.gee, making his SNL debut. Known for his unique musical style that combines indie, electronic, and pop elements, Mk.gee is a refreshing addition to the show’s lineup.
Chappelle, who previously took the post-election spotlight in 2016, 2020, and 2022, will be noticeably absent this year. His recent SNL appearances, while celebrated by many, have also sparked debates due to controversial topics. By bringing in Burr, SNL is keeping the tradition of hard-hitting, thought-provoking comedy while introducing a fresh take on the post-election climate.
Following Burr’s episode, SNL will welcome Charli XCX on November 16. This will be her debut as host, though she’s performed as a musical guest twice before. Her dual role as host and musical guest marks another highlight of SNL’s 50th season, which has already seen memorable performances and sketches with hosts like Jean Smart, Michael Keaton, and Maya Rudolph.
The ongoing 50th season of Saturday Night Live is shaping up to be both nostalgic and daring, with hosts like Mulaney and Burr delivering humor that resonates with both loyal fans and new viewers alike. For anyone curious about the upcoming episodes, tuning in tonight and next week should make for excellent television.
