"This week's edition of Saturday Night Live marked the first episode of the sketch comedy mainstay's 51st season. The host was Super Bowl splash-maker Bad Bunny, who became the first star in the history of the show to host after being the musical guest in the previous episode. It's his second time hosting. The musical guest was Doja Cat in her first SNL appearance."
"The first order of business this season was the cold open, a long-running gag in which the show performs a parody usually related to current events that ends with performers breaking character and exclaiming Live from New York, it's Saturday Night! This week, Colin Jost made a rare appearance in the cold open as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in a send-up of his speech to military leaders this week."
Saturday Night Live opened its 51st season with Bad Bunny as host and Doja Cat as the musical guest. Bad Bunny became the first performer to host after serving as musical guest in the previous episode. The premiere introduced new cast members Veronika Slowikowska, Jeremy Culhane, Tommy Brennan, Kam Patterson, and Ben Marshall. Returning players included Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Marcello Hernandez, James Austin Johnson, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, Bowen Yang, Colin Jost, and Michael Che. Departures included Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Devon Walker, Michael Longfellow, and Emil Wakim. The cold open featured Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth and a surprise interruption by James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump.
