Amy Poehler, known for her work on *SNL* and her podcast, will host the October 11th episode. It’s been a while – she last hosted in 2015 with Tina Fey, and hasn’t hosted solo since 2010. Musical guest Role Model will also be featured. This episode is particularly special because it marks *SNL*’s 50th anniversary – the show first aired on October 11, 1975. Following that, Sabrina Carpenter, a singer who has performed on *SNL* and collaborated with the Muppets, will host on October 18th for the first time. She impressed audiences last season with performances of “Nonsense” and “Feather” and even joined Paul Simon onstage at the *SNL50* special, delivering a delightfully off-key rendition of “Domingo.” It’s clear Lorne Michaels is a big fan!
