One is known for being such a bad SNL host that he was never asked back again and the other is responsible for one of the most iconic comedy sketches in television history.Īccording to comedy legend, Charles Grodin was banned from ever hosting Saturday Night Live again after his first disastrous appearance. Both Charles Grodin and Paul Mooney played large parts in the history of SNL. Saturday Night Live might also take time tonight to honor two great icons of comedy who passed away this week. Maybe we’ll see more on tonight’s SNL Finale. Her character Casey was one of the kidnap victims who survived being captured by Kevin Wendell Crumb (McAvoy) otherwise known as “The Horde” who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder and has 23 known personalities. She starred in “ Split” (2016) and “ Glass” (2019) along with James McAvoy, Samuel L. Night Shyamalan’s “ Eastrail 177” trilogy of movies.

And it’s another thing for the SNL writers to parody.Īnya Taylor-Joy is also known to movie fans for playing Casey Cooke in two of M. Her superhero codename is Magik, who’s a Marvel Comics mutant and sorceress with the ability to teleport. In the past year, Anya Taylor-Joy also starred in the comic book movie, “ The New Mutants” as Illyana Rasputin. It would be surprising if S aturday Night Live didn’t do some sort of “ Queen’s Gambit” parody either in a sketch or an SNL Short tonight. The mini-series takes us through Beth’s life into the 1960’s where she’s playing in chess tournaments around the world, all while dealing with a drug problem and alcoholism. On “The Queen’s Gambit”, Anya Taylor-Joy plays Beth Harmon who is an orphan living in the 1950’s who is also a chess prodigy.

It’s been a year where she’s won a Golden Globe for the Netflix series, “ The Queen’s Gambit” which was also awarded the Golden Globe for “Best Limited Series or Television Film.”

This is just one more credit she’s earned during the past year. She makes her SNL debut tonight by hosting the SNL – Season 46 Finale. Tonight’s host, Anya Taylor-Joy falls into that last category. And also of those 20 hosts, 14 of them were hosting newbies who emceed the show for the very first time during SNL – Season 46. And out of those 20 shows (with tonight being #20), SNL was hosted by 10 actors, 7 comedians and comedic actors, 2 singers and 1 inventor / entrepreneur. Looking back, we weren’t sure what this season of SNL would look like when it started, but the cast, writers, producers and crew made it through the social distancing, Covid screening and quarantining to give us 20 episodes of Saturday Night Live to enjoy this season. Some are shining on television outside of SNL like Aidy Bryant who just released the third and final season of “ Shrill” on Hulu and Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd who have already earned a second season of their NBC sitcom “ Kenan.” We’ll eventually know everything about SNL‘s upcoming 47th season by the end of September. Some cast members like Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson have already started solid film careers.

Bowen might have bought himself a second season just with that gay iceberg bit on Weekend Update alone. It’s especially tense for those new featured players each season who must be wondering if they did enough during their rookie year to be brought back in the fall for another round of shows.Īfter all, we did see a lot more of Bowen Yang than we did of Lauren Holt this season.

Now let the speculation begin! After tonight’s curtain call and goodbyes, we can start guessing which Saturday Night Live cast members will stay and which will leave (either by free will or by Lorne Michaels pink slip) to venture out into the next step of their comedy careers. Check & Mate! Tonight, it’s the Saturday Night Live finale with the last new show of the season hosted by the star of “The Queen’s Gambit”, Anya Taylor-Joy!
