Saturday Night Live will be hosted by Ariana Grande tonight with Stevie Nicks as the musical guest
Grande is no stranger to SNL. This will be the second time she will host the show. She made her hosting debut on March 12, 2016, when she enthralled the audience both as the host and the musical guest.
However, Grande’s stint as the musical guest goes back even earlier than this. In 2014, she appeared on SNL in that capacity for the first time. Most recently, she performed as the musical guest for season 49, episode 14, featuring Josh Brolin as the host.
Grande is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Wicked, the prequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Bowen Yang, a Saturday Night Live cast member, also stars in the film.

On September 27, Nicks dropped her most recent single, The Lighthouse. The song was a response to the overturning of the controversial Roe v. Wade decision.
Apart from Nicks’ performance, viewers can expect to see Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, Jim Gaffigan and Dana Carvey appear as Kamala Harris, Doug Emhoff, Tim Walz and Joe Biden respectively, in the cold open. There will be other sketches as well featuring some of these performers.
