Live from… oh, come on. You know where it’s from.
“Saturday Night Live” is continuing its historic run with a 52nd season on Saturday, Sep. 26 at 11:30 p.m. on NBC.
The premiere is set to feature New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson as host, with sort-of-K-Pop group KATSEYE as musical guest. (Please don’t kill me, K-Pop fans; I know they’re technically a “global pop girl group” but they’re hard to classify!) Both are making their “SNL” debuts.
