Is a fresh SNL episode airing on March 28?
No. Audiences will need to be patient a little longer for the upcoming brand-new episode of SNL.
The episode scheduled for tonight originally broadcast on December 6, 2025, featuring Melissa McCarthy as the Host and Dijon as the Musical Guest. This appearance marked McCarthy’s sixth occasion hosting SNL, where the renowned comedian once again provided hilariously memorable sketch performances, consistent with her prior Emmy-nominated appearances.

McCarthy even embraced the festive season with the amusing (and intense) segment, “A Helping Hand,” which stands out as one of SNL‘s most brilliantly dark holiday-themed sketches.
