Wondering whether John Mulaney will be on Saturday Night Live this weekend? He will not be. His next episode as host is Saturday, Nov. 14. The Nov. 7 episode has a different lineup, with Druski and The Strokes booked. Mulaney’s date is the one to put on your calendar. Plenty of readers are asking the same question, so here is the answer and what it means for your plans.
John Mulaney will host Saturday Night Live on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. It will be his seventh time hosting the NBC sketch comedy series. Phoebe Bridgers is booked as the musical guest. The show airs live on NBC, so viewers can watch the episode when it broadcasts. Saturday Night Live is one of the longest-running sketch shows on American television, and its host lineup changes every week. Hosts typically open the show with a monologue, then join the cast for sketches. Mulaney became a five-timer in February 2022, so this episode adds to a record he has built over several years. Nov. 14 is Bridgers’s second SNL appearance, after her February 2021 debut, according to TheWrap and TVLine.
For viewers planning Saturday night, the date is what matters. Nov. 14 falls one week after the Nov. 7 episode, so the two are easy to mix up. If you plan to watch live, check your local NBC listings for the start time and set your schedule around it. Mulaney fans who missed his earlier hosting dates have a clear target this time.
Mulaney’s Hosting Record, Bridgers’s Booking, and the Madden Push
Mulaney’s history with the show is long. He became a five-timer in February 2022, and the Nov. 14 episode brings him to seven. Host visits typically follow a familiar format, with a monologue that opens the show and sketches built around the host and the cast. This is the usual format rather than a detail verified for this episode. Newer viewers can catch up on past hosting dates through the show’s archive. TheWrap and TVLine report the Nov. 14 date and Bridgers booking.
The musical guest is the other half of the booking. Phoebe Bridgers will perform during the episode, and musical guests usually play two songs in a broadcast. A musical guest also gives the show a second draw beyond the host, which matters for viewers who follow Bridgers’s music and want to see her perform live on network television.
Mulaney also has a film to promote. He is promoting Madden, a Prime Video film that premieres on the service Nov. 18. Hosting dates often line up with press tours, and this one falls in the lead-up to the film’s premiere. The film’s Nov. 18 date means the press window closes four days after the episode airs. Whether the film comes up on air is not confirmed.
