No New SNL Tonight — Here's When the Comedy Returns
Saturday Night Live fans will have to wait a little longer for fresh sketches and musical moments. Tonight, March 28, NBC will air a repeat episode and the next all-new installment of the long-running comedy series won’t arrive until next week. This short break comes in the middle of Season 51, which has already brought a mix of returning favorites and new faces to Studio 8H.
The last new episode aired back on December 6, 2025, with Melissa McCarthy hosting and Dijon as the musical guest. That show delivered classic SNL chaos, from darkly comedic holiday sketches to unexpected cameos that had fans talking for weeks. Since then, the series has been holding over some of those standout moments while preparing audiences for the next wave of episodes.

For those counting down the days, mark your calendars for April 4. That’s when SNL will return with a highly anticipated double feature: Jack Black hosting, joined by musical guest Jack White. Black, fresh off the premiere of “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” will make his return to Studio 8H for the fourth time, while White steps up for his sixth appearance on the show, solidifying his place in SNL history. Together, they’re set to bring a mix of humor, music and surprises that have become the show’s trademark.
During these off-weeks, SNL hasn’t left fans entirely in the dark. The digital spin-off, “The Rundown,” continues to release new short-form sketches online, giving audiences a taste of the creativity happening behind the scenes. These episodes, released on Wednesdays, showcase both veteran cast members and newer players trying their hand at crafting the perfect skit. It’s a way for the show to stay connected with its audience, even when the live broadcast is on pause.
Season 51 has been notable for its strong lineup, featuring long-time performers like Kenan Thompson, James Austin Johnson and Ashley Padilla, alongside new featured players including Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson and Veronika Slowikowska. The season has balanced returning fan favorites with fresh talent, keeping the comedy unpredictable and energetic.
Tonight’s rerun is a reminder of SNL’s enduring influence in late-night comedy and it sets the stage for a major return next weekend. Make sure to tune in on April 4 for the Jack-on-Jack edition and keep up with “The Rundown” on Peacock to catch the latest digital sketches. Stay connected and don’t miss a moment of the action as SNL continues to evolve and entertain.
