"This is an almost unheard of embarrassment of A-list riches! After Glen Powell led the Bob Army's invasion of your social media during his November 14 Saturday Night Live hosting duties, one might have thought the rest of the year would be at best mildly amusing. But just as the year staggers to a close, SNL goes all-out, and December's hosts and musical guests read like a fever dream of 2025's pop culture makers. December 6 sees the return of Melissa McCarthy to Studio 8H, marking her sixth time hosting. She'll be joined by musical guest Dijon, capping off his breakout year at Studio 8H."
"Then there is the December 20 show. Cancel the 25th because Christmas comes early when Ariana Grande returns to host and Cher commands the stage as the performer, pushing the night firmly into the "watch it live or else" category, a relative rarity these days. An actual living legend closing out the final SNL of 2025 alongside one of the biggest pop stars on the planet feels like the type of TV that used to mean sweeps week."
SNL's December schedule features high-profile hosts and musical guests across three weeks. December 6 brings Melissa McCarthy back to Studio 8H for her sixth hosting turn, with Dijon as musical guest after a breakout year. December 13 features Josh O'Connor as host with Lily Allen performing tracks from her instant break-up-classic album West End Girl. December 20 pairs Ariana Grande returning to host with Cher as the musical performer, creating a rare live-event atmosphere for the season finale. Audience rules require attendees to be 16 or older with valid photo ID, and standby tickets open each Thursday at 10am for rehearsal or show.
