Happy December!
The end of the year is approaching and Saturday Night Live is about to close out 2025 with three killer shows. After a two week break for Thanksgiving, it’s time to find out how the show is planning to top Glen Powell’s stellar hosting debut on November 15. And luckily, we’re in for some serious treats this month.
While one Host is new to the game, two are fan favorites who have starred in some of the most memorable sketches of the past 20 years. You won’t want to miss Season 51’s final run of episodes — likely featuring fresh Christmas sketches! — before Studio 8H goes dark for the holiday break.
It’s going to be a December to remember, and it all starts on December 6. Get the details on this week’s show — and what comes next — below.
