The musical guests for the upcoming season of Saturday Night Live have been revealed as Kendrick Lamar, Megan Thee Stallion and Willow.
In October, the 48th season of the NBC sketch comedy debuts, with Lamar kicking off the Miles Teller-hosted series premiere. Brendan Gleeson, who plays the presenter, is scheduled to appear after Willow the following week. Megan Thee Stallion will serve as both the host and musical guest in October.
