Melissa McCarthy and Dijon Set to Star on SNL in December

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Melissa McCarthy will host Saturday Night Live (SNL) on December 6, with Dijon as the musical guest. This announcement was made during a recent episode featuring Glen Powell and Olivia Dean.

This upcoming episode marks McCarthy’s sixth time hosting the iconic late-night show. Her previous hosting stints include a memorable turn in 2017, where she received an Emmy for best guest actress in a comedy series. McCarthy is known for her ability to blend comedy with drama, showcasing her range as a performer.

Dijon, who is expected to debut on SNL, has gained acclaim in the R&B genre with hits like “Yamaha” and “The Dress.” He recently released his second studio album, Baby, which has been met with critical praise. The collaboration with McCarthy is highly anticipated, as both artists bring unique talents to the stage.

SNL’s 51st season has already featured a diverse array of hosts, including Bad Bunny, Amy Poehler, and Sabrina Carpenter. The show has welcomed new cast members Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson, and Veronika Slowikowska this season, following the departure of several familiar faces.

The show took a break after a series of episodes leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday but will return with a handful of episodes in December, adhering to its midseason hiatus schedule. Audience members can look forward to more updates and guest announcements as the season progresses.
