NBC is cranking up the laughs with three straight weeks of fresh episodes of 'Saturday Night Live' kicking off at the end of February. And let's just say, they are not holding back on the star power.
With a packed lineup and big names stepping in, it's shaping up to be a mini comedy marathon fans won't want to miss.
SNL Upcoming Lineups
First up, Connor Storrie takes the stage on 28th February with Mumford & Sons as the musical guest. Then comes the big one: Ryan Gosling returns with Gorillaz making their SNL debut. A third episode will follow on 14th March, though NBC is keeping the host and musical guest under wraps for now.

This will be Gosling's fourth time hosting the late-night staple. His return comes just days before his new sci-fi film 'Project Hail Mary,' directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, lands in theatres on 20th March.
Ryan Gosling's Last SNL
Fans still remember Gosling's last hosting gig in April 2024, when he struggled to keep a straight face during several sketches—especially a now-viral Beavis and Butt-Head spoof. He also shared the spotlight with Emily Blunt, while former cast member Kate McKinnon popped back in for another hilarious Close Encounters sketch.
That episode turned into a major win. Ryan Gosling earned his first Emmy nomination for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, and the show pulled in 8.9 million viewers within a week—its biggest audience in years and the strongest numbers since Billie Eilish hosted in December 2021.

Meanwhile, Gorillaz are ready to make their SNL debut in style. The animated band, created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, will hit the stage just as they release their new album 'The Mountain' on 27th February.
March is shaping up to be a big month for SNL—and with Ryan Gosling back in the mix, expect plenty of laughs.
