If you’re like us, you tend to plan your weekends around new episodes of Saturday Night Live. There’s nothing quite like watching those sketch comedy segments live on Saturday nights to cap off each long — and, lately, chaotic — week of current events.

So, if you’re here, chances are you also like to prepare your calendar for new SNL installments, and TV Guide is here to make good on its name and help you out with that.

Everything to Know About Peacock, NBCUniversal’s Streaming Service


Is Saturday Night Live running a new episode this week?

This Saturday, Feb. 15, NBC will not air a new episode of Saturday Night Live. Instead, the network will air an SNL rerun. The following Saturday, Feb. 22 will be a bye week for the show before it returns with a new episode on Saturday, Feb. 29, with John Mulaney bringing a sack lunch (probably) to 30 Rock for his latest hosting stint, with musical guest David Byrne. The comedian isn’t the only fan favorite who is expected to grace the SNL stage in the coming weeks; 007 Daniel Craig will be returning to Studio 8h for the first time in almost a decade to host on Saturday, March 7, with The Weeknd as the musical guest.
