### Who’s hosting? 

Content creator/comic **Druski** will host the Nov. 7 episode, and **John Mulaney** will follow on Nov. 14\. Both of these picks had been rumored, with a recent report naming Druski as the first content creator to host the show and Mulaney’s name popping up on Reddit for his episode.

I’m honestly surprised that **Lorne Michaels** didn’t swap Druski and Mulaney. [After **Inde Navarrette** hosts the Oct. 31 episode](https://www.theomnicosm.com/the-cold-open-snl-hosting-brunson-johnson-gillis-navarrette/), the next episode is the first to follow the midterm elections. Michaels has historically gone with a big name for those shows. I guess Mulaney doesn’t speak for the nation [like Dave Chappelle does ](https://www.theomnicosm.com/dave-chappelle-mixes-in-a-little-bit-of-snl-with-a-standup-gig/)...

### Have they hosted before?

This will be Druski’s first time hosting *SNL*. It’ll be Mulaney’s seventh time, having previously hosted in April 2018, March 2019, February 2020, October 2020, February 2022 and [November 2024](https://www.theomnicosm.com/john-mulaney-hosts-best-snl-of-the-season-as-kamala-harris-comes-face-to-face-with-her-doppelganger/). (Yeah, that was the one **Kamala Harris** had a cameo in ...)

### Who’s the musical guest?

The Strokes will be the musical guest for Druski’s episode, and **Phoebe Bridgers** will be the musical guest for Mulaney’s.
