. This is the first time the young Irish actor will serve as the guest host of the iconic NBC late-night live variety series.Mescal was announced as the guest host of the eighth episode of SNL Season 50 in an interstitial broadcast during the November 16 episode, in whichserved both as host and musical guest. Mescal’s episode will air on December 7, 2024, and feature producer Shaboozey as the musical guest.
SNL has been on air since October 1975, and serving as one of its guest hosts is widely regarded as an incredible accomplishment. Late comedian George Carlin was the first ever host of SNL, and actor Alec Baldwin currently holds the record for hosting the show the most times . Surprisingly, Denzel Washington, the two-time-Oscar winner and Mescal’s co-star in the Gladiator sequel has never hosted SNL, making him part of a rare group among Hollywood A-listers that includes Al Pacino, Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, and Tom Cruise.
Mescal, who is 28, has been active as an actor since the late 2010s and has already accumulated an impressive resume across the stage, films, and television. In 2022, he earned a Laurence Olivier Award for essaying the role of Stanley Kowalski in a 2022 revival of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire. Mescal garnered considerable attention for his performance as Connell Waldron in the BBC Three/Hulu/RTÉ One miniseries Normal People.
