Is there a new SNL episode tonight, March 28?
No. Viewers will have to wait a smidge longer for the next all-new episode of SNL.
Tonight’s episode originally aired on December 6, 2025, with Melissa McCarthy as Host and Dijon as the Musical Guest. It marked McCarthy’s sixth time hosting SNL, and the comedy icon delivered hysterical work in sketches, just as she’s done in her previous Emmy-nominated episodes.

McCarthy even got into the holiday spirit with the hilarious (and violent) “A Helping Hand,” which is among SNL‘s most wonderfully dark Christmas sketches.
