Melissa McCarthy, a comedy superstar, will host the December 6, 2025 episode of Saturday Night Live. Dijon, an R&B star, will be the musical guest. This is McCarthy’s sixth time hosting the famous sketch comedy show, which makes her a member of SNL’s exclusive Five-Timers Club.
McCarthy, who is known for her energetic performances in both comedy and drama, last hosted SNL in 2017 and won an Emmy for her outstanding performance. She is coming back during a busy year, with upcoming projects like a limited series on Paramount+ about the JonBenét Ramsey case and a movie version of the children’s book Miss Nelson is Missing on Netflix.
Dijon is known for his unique mix of alternative and neo-soul sounds. He will play songs from his new album Baby, including fan favorites like “Yamaha” and “The Dress.” Music fans are looking forward to the artist’s SNL debut because he has worked with big names like Charli XCX, Kenny Beats, and Justin Bieber.
The December 6 episode will be the first SNL show since the Thanksgiving break. It will continue the show’s tradition of featuring top-notch talent and funny jokes that are relevant to the time. Bad Bunny, Amy Poehler, Sabrina Carpenter, and Doja Cat are just a few of the many hosts and musical guests who have already appeared on Season 51.
Lorne Michaels’ SNL is still the best late-night show on TV because of its sharp political satire, commentary on pop culture, and viral musical performances. The show is still a cultural touchstone, starting careers and changing comedy for more than fifty years.
