What to Watch November 7: Druski Hosts ‘SNL,’ ‘Holiday Unplugged’ Premieres and College Football Takes Over

Saturday television is serving up comedy, Christmas romance and enough college football to keep sports fans occupied from noon until well past bedtime. Druski makes his Saturday Night Live hosting debut with The Strokes as musical guests, while Hallmark, Lifetime and Great American Family are rolling out three new movies for anyone who would rather trade touchdowns for a little romance.

And if you're wondering whether it's too early to start watching Christmas movies, the networks have clearly made that decision for us. Between a holiday romance that encourages everyone to put down their phones, a missing family heirloom and a tropical love story, Saturday has plenty of options beyond the football field.

TV Cave Top Pick: Saturday Night Live

Druski takes over Studio 8H for his first Saturday Night Live hosting gig, with rock band The Strokes returning as musical guests. The comedian has built a massive following with his outrageous characters and viral sketches, but live television is an entirely different challenge.

Druski's ability to transform into ridiculous personalities makes him an intriguing choice for SNL, where committing to the bit is practically a job requirement. His hosting debut also marks another example of the show's willingness to bring internet-born entertainers into its long-running comedy institution.

The Strokes are making their fifth appearance as musical guests, giving the episode another reason to tune in. Whether Druski's humor translates into memorable live sketches remains to be seen, but the potential for a chaotic night of comedy makes this our TV Cave Top Pick.

Hallmark Goes Screen-Free With ‘Holiday Unplugged’

Hallmark Channel premieres Holiday Unplugged at 8 PM ET, starring Nikki DeLoach and Juan Pablo Di Pace. The story follows a widowed art teacher who decides her family needs a Christmas without screens, only to discover that treasured videos of her late husband have disappeared.

Her search for the missing memories brings her together with a former colleague who also happens to be a new dating-app match. Naturally, a little holiday romance enters the picture, but the emotional heart of the story is a woman trying to preserve her family's connection to someone they've lost. It's a more sentimental premise than the usual holiday misunderstanding, and DeLoach is well suited to that kind of material.

Lifetime and Great American Family Bring More Romance

Lifetime is taking its romance somewhere warmer with Terry McMillan Presents: Paradise With You, starring Taye Diggs and Heather Hemmens. Diggs plays a professional football star preparing for retirement who meets an interior decorator on a Caribbean island. Their attraction gets complicated when they discover they're both interested in the same property.

Meanwhile, Great American Family premieres Karen Kingsbury's The Christmas Ring, starring Jana Kramer, Benjamin Hollingsworth and Kelsey Grammer. The film follows a military widow searching for a meaningful family heirloom, a journey that leads her to a widowed antiques dealer and the possibility of finding love again. Both movies premiere at 8 PM, so holiday romance fans have some decisions to make.

College Football Dominates Saturday

Football fans have a packed schedule, with several major matchups carrying serious postseason implications. Alabama visits LSU at 3:30 PM ET on ABC, while Oregon faces Ohio State on CBS at the same time. By evening, Miami heads to Notre Dame and Georgia takes on Ole Miss, giving fans two especially compelling games to choose from at 7:30 PM.

The action doesn't stop there, with Iowa facing Northwestern on FOX, Air Force visiting Army on CBS and Michigan State taking on Michigan on Peacock. Between the ranked matchups and rivalry games, Saturday is shaping up to be a long day for anyone who insists on watching every meaningful fourth quarter.

More Saturday Highlights

Netflix adds Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, a comedy starring Zoey Deutch as a woman who heads to Hollywood after discovering her fiancé has been unfaithful with his celebrity crush. Her plan to even the score involves pursuing her own famous fantasy, played by Jon Hamm, with Jennifer Aniston, Ken Marino and John Slattery also appearing.

CNN has a new episode of Have I Got News for You at 9 PM, featuring comedians Gianmarco Soresi and Moshe Kasher, while Austin City Limits welcomes Gary Clark Jr. and Black Pumas on PBS later in the evening.

Saturday's lineup offers something for nearly every mood, but Druski's SNL debut gets our vote. There's something especially entertaining about watching a comedian known for unpredictable characters step onto a stage where anything can happen, including sketches going completely off the rails.
