If he still has his popular talk show, I can see Graham Norton being one of the first hosts.

He has a hit song out called Beautiful Things. He's a former Idol contestant too.

I lost interest in American Idol years ago.

Those returning cameos in The White Potus were amazing.

I'm excited to see Goggins host for the first time but if Scarlett is hosting the season finale there absolutely has to be another Che/Jost joke swap that she's involved in.

Quinta and Walton Goggins back to back. Always nice when SNL remembers that TV stars exist.

Over on the SNL reddit there's speculation that ScarJo hosting the finale could be an indication that it's Colin Jost's last Update, probably Michael Che's too since they'd definitely sign off together. It may just be a coincidence since she's mainly there to promote Jurassic World which is also part of the NBC/Universal family but I can see them passing the Weekend Update torch after season 50.

It feels like everybody from SNL has done a Verizon commerical.

I thought the back half of the season after the 50th special was mostly meh besides a couple of good sketches here and there but I thought the finale had some great stuff in it between the joke swap, Mike Myers coming back for the Ye sketch and this instant PDD classic:



I was surprised that nobody was officially announced as leaving. I feel like there'll still be a cast shakeup going into next season but I also think that if Jost and Che or any of the veteran cast members like Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim were leaving they'd definitely have gotten a sendoff. Based on the finale I wouldn't be surprised if Ego wasn't coming back. She was all over last night's show.

I keep forgetting Scarlett is married to this guy:
