Is Saturday Night Live New Tonight? (May 31, 2025)

Hey SNL fans! Saturday night is here, and you're probably wondering if there's a fresh episode of Saturday Night Live waiting for us tonight.

📺 Tonight's SNL Schedule: The Answer

No, there's no new episode of SNL tonight (May 31, 2025). Season 50's finale already aired on May 17 with Scarlett Johansson as host and Bad Bunny as musical guest.

But don't worry – you're not going without your SNL fix! NBC is re-airing the March 8 episode featuring Lady Gaga as both host and musical guest. If you missed Gaga's incredible double-duty performance earlier this season, tonight's your perfect chance to catch it.

🌟 What Made Season 50's Finale So Special

Scarlett Johansson made history on May 17, becoming the woman who's hosted Saturday Night Live the most times – her seventh appearance as host. The episode was packed with memorable moments, including her long-awaited revenge on Michael Che for his off-color Christmas joke swap remarks.

The season ended strong with an impressive trio of hosts leading into the finale:

• Jack Black returned to Studio 8H for the first time in 20 years
• Jon Hamm delivered another stellar hosting performance
• Scarlett Johansson capped it all off with her record-breaking seventh hosting gig

🎉 Don't Miss: SNL50 Anniversary Special Rebroadcast

Mark your calendars! NBC is re-broadcasting the three-hour SNL50: The Anniversary Special on Sunday, June 8 at 7:30 ET/PT.

This February special was absolutely epic, bringing together nearly every living cast member and former host for an unforgettable night. Highlights included:

• A brand new Dooneese sketch with Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen, and Will Ferrell
• Eddie Murphy's spot-on Tracy Morgan impression
• Debbie Downer serving drinks to Ayo Edebiri, Drew Barrymore, and Robert De Niro
• Celebrity-packed studio audience that was almost as entertaining as the show itself

🎭 Why Lady Gaga's Episode Is Worth Watching Tonight

Lady Gaga's March 8 episode was one of Season 50's standout shows. When she takes on hosting and musical guest duties simultaneously, magic happens. Her comedy chops have only gotten sharper since her previous SNL appearances, and her musical performances were absolutely stunning.
