Grab your snacks and set your DVR: Teyana Taylor is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend on Saturday, January 24 and it’s shaping up to be one of the juiciest live-TV nights of the winter season. The multi-talented singer-actor-all-around powerhouse steps into the iconic SNL host spotlight for the first time, bringing both star power and a sharp sense of humor to Studio 8H in New York City.
Taylor, already riding high on awards-season buzz for her turn in One Battle After Another and backed by Grammy nominations for her musical work, plays host opposite rock band Geese, who’ll be the musical guest with a raw, energetic set sure to break up the comedy with some live-band thunder.
Taylor’s hosting debut is a celebration of crossover brilliance, she’s equally at home acting, singing and commanding a crowd, qualities SNL producers clearly think will translate well in sketches and monologue alike. In promo clips teasing the episode, Taylor even channels an iconic 1990s Angela Bassett moment, hinting this won’t be a timid or buttoned-down performance.
She follows a January lineup that kicked off with Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard hosting the Jan. 17 show and A$AP Rocky as musical guest.
What to Expect From the Show
If SNL history is any guide, we’re likely to see:
A memorable monologue from Taylor, possibly riffing on her Golden Globe momentum and her varied career
Sketches tailored to her unique comic voice expect fearless energy, attitude and maybe even a dance break
Geese live on stage, bringing a punchy soundtrack to the night
A live-TV unpredictability that only Saturday Night Live can deliver
And if you’re a pop-culture obsessives (like us at The TV Cave), this is one of those nights where the clips hit YouTube before brunch on Sunday.
A Night Worth Setting Your Alarm For
Teyana Taylor’s SNL debut episode on January 24 promises comedy, charisma and maybe a few surprises. Whether you’re tuning in for the sketches, the music, or just to see how she handles live television’s most unpredictable stage, this weekend’s Saturday Night Live is a must see.
Don’t sleep on it, this one’s got “classic” written all over it.
