SNL: Finn Wolfhard To Host First Episode Of 2026, With Musical Guest A$AP Rocky

Finn Wolfhard is about to find out if there are stranger things than hosting "Saturday Night Live."

The "Stranger Things" star will host the first "SNL" episode of the new year on Saturday, Jan. 17, the show announced on Saturday, joined by musical guest A$AP Rocky. Both will be making their official "SNL" debut, although A$AP Rocky did make a cameo in a 2018 episode hosted by Donald Glover. 

Wolfhard is wrapping up a five-season run as Mike on the Netflix sci-fi smash "Stranger Things," with Volume 2 of the fifth and final season set to be released on Christmas Day and the series finale set to be released on New Year's Eve. He's also starred in the recent "It" and "Ghostbusters" film franchises.

Thus far this season, "SNL" has welcomed the likes of Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, and Glen Powell as hosts. Here, we're keeping a running list of each Season 51 "SNL" host and musical guest, so you can see who's already appeared on the show and who's coming up next. Read on to get the full rundown, and let us know in the comments what you think about the forthcoming "SNL" guests!

Season 51 kicked off with chart-topping superstar Bad Bunny hosting for the second time, as well as three previous appearances as musical guest. (Doja Cat made her "SNL" debut as musical guest.) 

Bad Bunny began his hosting stint with a monologue that poked fun at the controversy surrounding his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show performance, adding a message to his fans in Spanish. The episode also rode the buzz behind Netflix's smash hit "KPop Demon Hunters" with a sketch where Bad Bunny played a super fan of the movie; the singing voices behind the animated K-pop girl group made a cameo, too, singing their hit song "Golden."

Oct. 11 marked 50 years since "SNL" debuted on NBC, and the show marked the occasion by bringing back an old friend. Poehler, an "SNL" cast member from 2001 to 2008, returned to host for the third time, with musical guest Role Model making his "SNL" debut.

Poehler was joined by her old pal Tina Fey in the cold open, with the pair playing Trump staffers Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem in a parody of Bondi's combative Senate testimony. Poehler and Fey then reunited with fellow "SNL" alum Seth Meyers on Weekend Update, with the trio taking on current anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che in a heated joke-off.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter made her "SNL" hosting debut in October, pulling double duty as musical guest as well. (She served once before as musical guest, as well as appearing in this year's "SNL50" anniversary special.) 

The episode brought back Marcello Hernandez's recurring character Domingo, as Carpenter played one of the giggling friends singing about the illicit affair between Domingo and Chloe Fineman's Kelsey. Carpenter also starred with "SNL" cast member Bowen Yang in a pre-taped music video about middle school dances and the raging hormones that lead to grinding on the dance floor.  

Miles Teller made his second appearance as "SNL" host this season, backed up by musical guest Brandi Carlile, who appeared for the fourth time.

Teller's episode began with a parody of the New York City mayoral race, with former hosts Ramy Youssef and Shane Gillis playing candidates Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa, while Teller played candidate Andrew Cuomo. Teller later played both Property Brothers (!) in a sketch as the HGTV hosts helped President Donald Trump with his extensive White House renovations.

Stand-up comic and Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser graced the Studio 8H stage for the first time as host in November, with fellow "SNL" rookie sombr as musical guest. 

Glaser's episode included a parody of the Disney classic "Beauty and the Beast," with Glaser's Belle being romanced by YouTube king Mr. Beast. It also featured the triumphant return of "SNL" alum Pete Davidson, who dropped by Weekend Update to defend his purchase of an old Staten Island Ferry boat... and to jab at "SNL" boss Lorne Michaels while he was at it. 

Glen Powell hosted "SNL" for the first time as he promoted his starring role in the upcoming big-screen remake of "The Running Man." He was joined by musical guest Olivia Dean, making her "SNL" debut.
