The NBC sketch comedy series is taking a three-week break following its Nov. 14 episode, hosted by John Mulaney with musical guest Phoebe Bridgers.
Seyfried’s hosting debut comes amid a busy stretch for the actress, who recently appeared in Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s You Can See Everything, the documentary about former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes.
Toliver’s SNL debut follows a milestone year for the Houston-born rapper and singer, who has continued teasing his next project, NITROUS, most recently with the release of “Party With the Boys.”
The upcoming album follows OCTANE, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in February, marking his first chart-topper. He later took the project on a North American arena tour and teamed up with Drake on tracks “Cold Shoulder” and “Solar Eclipse.”
Toliver also graced the cover of Billboard in March 2026, discussing his career, creative process and rise in hip-hop. He is also among the artists featured in Billboard‘s early predictions for the 2027 Grammy Awards’ best new artist category.
The upcoming episode will be part of SNL‘s 52nd season, which premiered Sept. 26 with New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson making his hosting debut and KATSEYE serving as musical guest.
Since then, the show has welcomed Dakota Johnson, Shane Gillis, Inde Navarrette, Druski and Mulaney as hosts, with Turnstile, Rosalía, Gracie Abrams, The Strokes and Bridgers among the season’s musical guests.
