Jason Sudeikis Hosting ‘SNL’ On Oct. 23 With Musical Guest Brandi Carlile
Live from New York, it’s Saturday night! Season 47 of Saturday Night Live is well underway, and show runner Lorne Michaels has yet to disappoint with his choice of show hosts and musical guests. This week, Jason Sudeikis, 45, is host with musical guest Brandi Carlile, 40.
Owen Wilson, 52, opened the season musical guest Kacey Musgraves, 33, on Oct. 2. The Wedding Crashers star also made his hosting debut in season 47, chalking up the long wait to nerves. “I get really nervous with public speaking. I’ve never done any of those commencement addresses or Saturday Night Live just because I get too nervous,” he explained on a hike to friend Kevin Nealon in a YouTube video. Owen slayed it, and even had some help from his brothers Andrew, 57, and Luke, 50, during his opening monologue.

Jason Sudeikis Returns To ‘SNL’ For 1st Hosting Gig
Jason is no stranger to the SNL audience: the 45-year-old was a long time cast member on the sketch show, appearing from 2005 – 2013 (he originally began work on the series as a writer, marking a decade long tenure). October 22, however, marks his first time hosting — and first appearance since his departure.

“Hi, I’m Jason Sudeikis, and I’m hosting SNL this week with Brandi Carlile!” Jason announced in a promo alongside Brandi and cast members Alex Moffat and Chloe Fineman. “Alright, positive affirmation time!” he ordered, prompting Alex to reply, “We’re gonna kill it!” Chloe then added, “We’re going to be so funny!” as Brandi dubbed Jason “the best host ever.”

In another promo, the gang teased it’s going to be the “spookiest” episode yet. “And if we do things right, we might just learn a little something about ourselves along the way…or not,” Jason said deadpan in the same promo.
