In a new post on Twitter today, the NBC sketch show confirmed that the actor is going to host the upcoming February 16th episode, to be specific. It is still somewhat of a surprise to us that Don has never hosted SNL before, given his illustrious film career and his well-known versatility. We have seen him do some really dramatic stuff, while at the same time some fairly comedic material such as House of Lies and his new show Black Monday.
As for what sort of material Cheadle could bring to the table here, we are just hoping that it is something that’s fun, different than we’ve seen from him before, and also current for 2019. We know that he is the sort of actor who will be game to do just about anything, so we don’t think it’s going to be particularly hard to convince him to take part in some particularly ludicrous concepts.
As for the musical guests for this particular episode, you are going to have a chance to see none other than Gary Clark Jr. take the stage. He is a musician originally from Austin who specializes in a number of different things, but actually has a similar versatility to Don Cheto. He can do blues, rock, and a little bit of country and hip-hop at the same time. He’s the sort of person who is going to bring some true musicianship to Studio 8H, which we are certainly very much excited about.
This show featuring Cheadle is following up the upcoming February 9th edition of SNL, which is featuring Halsey as both the host and the musical guests. She is a rare person who is doing double-duty these days, as it’s not something we have really seen all that much of in a while. We also don’t know all that much about her comedic sensibility, so this upcoming show is a little bit of a toss-up. It could be fun just from a risk standpoint alone.
