It's April 26, 2026, and the anticipation is high, but the reality is underwhelming. Tonight, SNL isn't new, and there won't be a live performance. Instead, we're getting a rerun of the show, which aired on April 25, 2026. That night, the stage of SNL was graced by the legendary Cher as the musical guest while Ariana Grande hosted the event.
When is the Next New SNL Episode?
The last new SNL episode was last night, and we won't get a new SNL episode tonight as SNL is on a break. The next new episode will be on the 2nd of May. Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo will be pulling double duty as the host and the musical guest.
Ariana Grande Hosts, Cher Delivers the Musical Thrill
Last night, the SNL stage was a spectacle. The atmosphere in Studio 8H was electric, with Ariana Grande taking the lead as the host. It was a night of laughter and entertainment, but the real star of the show was the musical guest, Cher. It was a special performance, but unfortunately, we won't get to see any of it tonight as the show is a repeat.
"It's always a unique experience to perform on SNL, but to be on the show alongside Ariana Grande and Cher, it was a surreal experience," says Bobby, a producer on the show.
Tune in Next Week for New SNL Episodes
After a successful season, SNL is taking a break from new episodes. The next new episode will air on May 2, 2026, featuring Olivia Rodrigo as both the host and musical guest. Viewers can catch reruns and specials in the meantime, but the wait for new content will be worth it.
So, mark your calendars for May 2, when SNL returns with a bang, featuring Olivia Rodrigo in a double role. The anticipation for the next new SNL episode is high, and with such exciting performers, it's sure to be a night to remember.
