SNL Season 46: Keegan-Michael Key, Anya Taylor-Joy to Host Final Episodes

Saturday Night Live is closing out Season 46 with a pair of first-time hosts.

First up, Keegan-Michael Key — who will soon appear opposite Cecily Strong in the Apple TV+ comedy Schmigadoon! — will make his Studio 8H debut on May 15. “Driver’s License” singer Olivia Rodrigo will serve as musical guest.

Then on May 22, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) will host the Season 46 finale; Lil Nas X — who was recently portrayed by cast member Chris Redd in a polarizing cold open — will perform.

Additional hosts this season have included Chris Rock, Bill Burr, Issa Rae, Adele, John Mulaney, Dave Chappelle, Jason Bateman, Timothée Chalamet, Kristen Wiig, John Krasinski, Dan Levy, Regina King, Regé-Jean Page, Nick Jonas, Maya Rudolph and Daniel Kaluuya.
