Bad Bunny Returns as ‘SNL’ Host for Season 51 Premiere Featuring Doja Cat

Bad Bunny is set to host the Season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live on October 4, with musical guest Doja Cat. The latest SNL promo shows Bad Bunny comfortably interacting with the cast and welcoming new member Veronika Slowikowska, highlighting his playful and confident attitude. Having previously hosted the show in October 2023 and appeared earlier this year as a musical guest and in sketches, Bad Bunny has clearly made himself at home on the iconic 30 Rock stage. Despite some criticism regarding his English skills, Bad Bunny confidently addressed such doubts during his first hosting appearance by asserting his own style and determination. In addition to the SNL premiere, Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show, becoming the first artist to deliver a fully non-English performance on that historic stage. He expresses excitement about representing Puerto Rico and the broader Latino community. Following Bad Bunny’s episode, SNL will continue with hosts Amy Poehler and Sabrina Carpenter. This season continues to blend established stars with fresh talent in its lineup.
