Saturday Night Live season 48: Steve Martin, Martin Short to host!
Today, the folks at NBC confirmed that on Saturday, December 10, Steve Martin and Martin Short are going to host the show together, with Brandi Carlisle serving as the musical guest. The two Only Murders in the Building stars have hosted the late-night show individually on a number of occasions, and of course we expect this to be hilarious. Both of them contributed in some way to Selena Gomez’s hosting debut, and maybe that gave them the itch to want to come back.
Also, of course this is fantastic press for some of the comedy shows that the two do together. We have every reason to believe right now that this is going to be a hilarious show, and we tend to think there are some other cameos that are going to happen at some point during it.

Remember that season 3 of Only Murders in the Building has already been greenlit; we anticipate that Martin, Short, and Gomez will all kick off filming for it early next year.
As for some other news…
We’ve already reported that the show’s return to air on December 3 will feature the insanely-talented Keke Palmer as host and SZA as musical guest. NBC also announced today that for the final Saturday Night Live of 2022, Elvis star Austin Butler will take the reins. He will be joined by Yeah Yeah Yeahs as musical guest. The last episode before the holiday break is almost always a super-fun one, mostly from the vantage point of all the great Christmas-related content that we have an opportunity to see over time.
