‘Stranger Things’ star Finn Wolfhard is set to guest host the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 2026, with A$AP Rocky serving as musical guest for the episode, set to resume on Saturday, January 17, 2026.
The fifth and final season of Wolfhard’s sci-fi thriller ‘Stranger Things’ just wrapped up on Dec. 31. The last episode of SNL for 2025 featured Ariana Grande as guest host, and Cher as the musical guest. It also was the final episode for longtime cast member Bowen Yang, who exited the show in the middle of his seventh season on the Dec. 20, 2025 episode.
After the first round of upcoming episodes on the late-night comedy show, ‘SNL’ will go on another hiatus as NBC serves as the broadcast home of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, which kicks-off on Friday, Feb. 6 through Sunday, Feb. 22.
Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
