Is Saturday Night Live New Tonight? Here’s the July 26 Host and Musical Guest

When Nate Bargatze first hosted Saturday Night Live in 2023, his episode was a smash hit, due in large part to the viral “Washington’s Dream” sketch. The sketch has received an astounding 24 million views to date on SNL‘s YouTube channel, so it was no huge surprise that in Season 50, he returned on October 5, 2024 to do it all over again.

While Bargatze’s only hosted SNL twice so far, he fit right in with SNL50‘s roster of returning hosts such as John Mulaney, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Quinta Brunson, Jon Hamm, and Scarlett Johansson.

Bargatze’s second SNL episode brought a follow-up to “Washington’s Dream, which was just as great as the first.  “Streeter Sidell and Mikey Day created and wrote it. I was just able to sync it up very well with my rhythm,” Bargatze told Parade after his second SNL outing. “I was worried about doing it again, but when I saw the new one, it felt like he had different enough parts and I realized it was just fun to be George Washington.”

The episode also featured the hysterical “Water Park” sketch, in which employees and medical techs face the awkward question of how to deal with a dead body at the top of a slide, as well as “Mile High Burger Challenge,” which found Season 50 cast member Heidi Gardner getting messy as a hungry woman with her eye on the prize.
