Bill Burr to Host Post-Election SNL

Bill Burr is set to host Saturday Night Live's post-election episode on November 9, marking a shift from the show's tradition of having Dave Chappelle host after elections since 2016. Musical guest Mk.gee will perform alongside Burr, who has previously hosted SNL in 2020. Following Burr, Charli XCX will take on dual roles as host and musical guest on November 16. The change in hosts comes amid various controversies surrounding Chappelle's comedic material related to the LGBTQ+ community, which has raised concerns among some audiences. Despite mixed opinions on Burr's comedic style, his upcoming appearance is viewed as a welcome departure from Chappelle's recent hosting history. SNL has resumed its 50th season with a variety of notable guest hosts and musical acts.
