Saturday Night Live will return for its 52nd season on September 26, with the season’s premiere slated to air on NBC. The episode will be hosted by New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, marking his debut as a host on the long‑running sketch comedy series.
Brunson’s selection as host follows his role in the Knicks’ recent championship run. One report notes that the team secured its first NBA title in more than 50 years, while another specifies a 53‑year gap since the franchise’s previous championship. Both accounts agree that Brunson was a key contributor to the victory.
In addition to Brunson, the premiere will feature appearances by actress Dakota Johnson, comedian Shane Gillis, and performer Inde Navarrette. These guests are scheduled to take part in sketches and other segments throughout the episode.
The musical lineup for the opening show includes performances by Katseye, the punk band Turnstile, singer‑songwriter Rosalía, and emerging artist Gracie Abrams. Each act is set to provide live music during the broadcast.
The episode will be produced in NBC’s Studio 8H, the traditional home of Saturday Night Live. The show’s return continues its annual schedule of live, late‑night comedy and music.
Overall, the season‑52 premiere assembles a mix of sports, film, comedy, and music talent, positioning the episode as a high‑profile start to the new season.
