OK but the last time Vampire Weekend played SNL was May 11, 2013... and Maya Rudolph made a cameo that night


theCougAbides

Maya Rudolph is also opening for Vampire Weekend at some of their shows. Or something, no idea if there is a other Maya Rudolph.


abbothejewess

Maya Rudolph is part of a Prince cover band called Princess. I’m assuming that’s what you’re referring to. 


The_Narz

Correct. Princess is opening for VW on certain legs of their tour.


Lilian-Kaustupper

I want to go to there


rathat

In conclusion, Maya Rudolph is Vampire Weekend.


Softspokenclark

have you even seen Maya Rudolph and Vampire Weekend in the same room?


DarkwingDuckHunt

Are you trying to say that Maya is a Vampire but only on the weekends or during Christmas time?


Sanchez_U-SOB

No...way


rowdover

They're so good too!


mstun3107

They played at Bonnaroo a while back and it was such an awesome show.


BroadwayBakery

Seeing her in a band covering Prince songs is something I’ve craved desperately in life and had no clue I needed.


RepresentativeRegret

I’m hoping for an Amy Poehler cameo. She’s still good friends with Rashida Jones, Ezra’s partner


oh_my_mistake

The "I'm working laaaaate cause I'm a singerrr" line is gonna hit harder than usual, lmao.


johnnyma45

Before I looked up lyrics, I thought she was working late because she’s a sinner. Which, I prefer as a lyric honestly


itsmeherzegovina

I think that's the point and it's supposed to be a double entendre


shamrockshakeho

Is it a sin to work late?


itsmeherzegovina

nah but I think it's about working in a club


Eattoomanychips

Came here to say this !!!!!!


Carlosmgal

I really wanted Conan to be a musical guest this season


bananasmash14

I’M LOOKING AT THE FJORD


conando93

THERE’S SALMON IN THE SEA


SyNiiCaL

You mean double duty surely


Carlosmgal

I said what I said https://latenighter.com/news/the-coco-bump-takes-hold-as-conan-obriens-norwegian-rap-song-racks-up-streams/


maniacalmustacheride

I am sobbing, this is incredible


Zechs-Merquise

🎶 _There’s salmon in the sea!_ 🎶


SakuraTacos

My baby says she’s bored! 🎤


Drewbacca

I was in the Conan audience once, and the musical guest (Kesha) was pre-taped. To make up for it, Conan shredded guitar with the band for like 15 minutes. It was fantastic.


demitasse22

Thank you for sharing that Conan morsel


Parallelogram12

Hopefully next year he'll come back and perform [yay boo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTCEjJmm9Cg&ab_channel=RobBurgoyne)


snowlarbear

Fjord song and the K-pop song he did years ago.


BurgerNugget12

I’m genuinely shocked he hasn’t be asked to host yet


SmokinSkinWagon

Gotta imagine it’ll be next year for the 50th, right?


TwitterLegend

He better have a second season of Conan Must Go then because I don’t think having a podcast is enough of a promotional reason to host.


demitasse22

I wanted to hear him play I Can Tell We are Going to be Friends, and have the audience actually know none of the words


Earptastic

Doom metal band Conan would be awesome


RealMaxHours

…O’Brien or Gray?


Shmegdar

I think they mean O’Brien but if they wanted to be cheeky they could have O’Brien host and Gray be the musical guest the same week


TheQueenStaysQueen

Jake Gyllenhaal with Sabrina carpenter is insane lmao


twistingmyhairout

They knew what they were doing. Swifties currently frothing in anger and excitement. I wonder if they’ll do an All Too Well sketch….


North_Carpenter6844

There is NO way Jake would be down to do that.


TheMoneyOfArt

It's also too niche for a general audience. It's like the skit about the try guys. You have to be in deep to care.


gumbybitch

They literally just had Gosling do a version of All Too Well for monologue it’s not too niche 😭


badgarok725

that still played for people who had no idea it was a version of All Too Well


poneil

You definitely missed the point of the Try Guys sketch. The whole point was making fun of people who care about it and expressing confusion as to how the story was picked up by serious news organizations. It was very much not a sketch aimed at people who are in deep enough to care.


TheMoneyOfArt

Yes, I understand that's what that sketch is about. That is my point.


nocautiontaken

A sketch referencing Taylor Swift is not “too niche” by any means


TheMoneyOfArt

A sketch about how Jake Gyllenhaal dated her ten years ago and she wrote a long song about it is niche


ThisIsNotAFarm

People care about celebrities way too much


NotANumber13

Im out of the loop. What did they do here?


erin_burr

Sabrina Carpenter opened for Taylor Swift on her recent tour (I think they're friends). Their fanbases have a large overlap. Some people have theorized the Taylor Swift album 'Red' and the song All Too Well are about Jake Gyllenhaal.


twistingmyhairout

Yeah so basically one of Taylor’s short lived ex boyfriends hosting with her new-ish protege. Not a big deal at all, but Swifties can’t be normal about anything.


nedzissou1

Finally heard that song in the Fall Guy movie. I really don't understand Swifties


twistingmyhairout

Same, and I know far too much of her lore and like a large part of her catalog. But the fans themselves (at least the hardcore online ones) truly baffle me. It’s part of why I read more because I just don’t get it


frigginelvis

I'm old. How is this insane?


Fireblaster2001

Jake Gyllenhall is Taylor Swifts ex-boyfriend that was rumored to be the subject of breakup song “all to well”. Sabrina Carpenter has toured with Taylor Swift. So, I guess just one degree of Kevin Bacon away from Taylor Swift each?


tommykaye

It’s not, really. Jake and Taylor Swift dated. Sabrina Carpenter was the opening act on Taylor’s tour. It’s like seeing your coworker in line at Chipotle and your ex is there to waiting his online pickup. Lots of people want to be on SNL. And lots of people like Chipotle.


PurpleChard757

I hope we get another musical number with "Guy who travels in pyjamas"


RealMaxHours

The Sabrina Carpenter nonsense outro to close the season is going to hit like crack Maya Kate and Kristen all within 5 months of each other is wild too


soundoffcinema

If she can rhyme something with “Gyllenhaal” she’ll be top five dead or alive


LunaMoonMeUp

Will be hard to top CMAT's rhyme of Gyllenhaal in her song [California](https://open.spotify.com/track/6X7ij8jz33hp7xPe1Psn7r?si=DzLJ76_5TGmGImWn_g_U-Q) "I'm writing a book about us... They're gonna make a movie of it... They're gonna cast Jake Gyllenhaal... And I'm *Kristen Schaal*"


twistingmyhairout

Omg could we get a Please Don’t Destroy Nonsense sketch????


throwawayshirt

I like her songs, she's cute and fun. But the low-angle camera on her Cappuccino tik toks make her look like [Dorf on Golf](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFlOgrodJPo)


RealMaxHours

I mean she’s like 4 foot 11 (saw a TikTok about her height not even 10 minutes ago)


AlexTorres96

Blows my mind how Sabrina Carpenter blew up so big. I didn't really follow her in years after I saw halfway thru of Girl Meets World. As I aged out of kids shows I didnt follow where many of those stars ended up. But in recent time, it's amazing to see the follow she has and the huge crowds she's been able to pull.


twistingmyhairout

I mean she was THE opener for 1/2 of the highest grossing tour of all time (so far). I’m honestly surprised she didn’t shoot up more quickly after even just booking that gig and having the TSwift co-sign.


nomascusgabriellae

She toured with Taylor Swift, had and great coachella set AND her song capuchino or whatever was #1 recently


grizzsaw12

You know good and damn well its not called capuchino 😂


nomascusgabriellae

Lmao I’m bored


demitasse22

In passing, I see some subs saying Taylor is going to destroy Sabrina out of jealousy. I just found out who Sabrina was last week…thoughts on this?


nomascusgabriellae

Those are just internet rumors. Taylor is probably extremely happy that Sabrina got this accomplishment. She’s like a mentor to her and Sabrina has expressed her love and gratitude for TS many times


johnnyma45

I feel like this is the Olivia Rodrigo career path lol


amJustSomeFuckingGuy

Olivia has more talent.


JenniferKinney

Well she better keep expressing her love and gratitude and kissin the ring if she doesn't want that friendship to end up like Olivia 👀


dreamcicle11

This made me laugh as well!


coltsmetsfan614

Sabrina blew up ***SO*** quickly! The Olivia Rodrigo feud definitely played a role, and then her album after that was really great. I caught her on tour early last year, before she was announced as an international opener for the Eras Tour, and she put on a really fun show. Now she's got the potential song of the summer in "Espresso" and has locked down the musical guest slot for the season finale! Amazing!


TrapperJean

I went from having no idea who she was to asking myself who this stunning, tiny pixie of a person is that keeps showing up in the instagram stories of every woman I went to college with multiple times a day


WildMajesticUnicorn

Honestly this adds to my saltiness that Poehler hasn’t hosted in so long. I have to think it’s her choice but I wish she would do it.


twistingmyhairout

Has she been doing anything recently? I feel like the last thing I saw her in was Wine Country and that was like….pre pandemic? I want more!


WildMajesticUnicorn

Inside Out 2 is being released in May. She’s been doing a lot more directing and producing.


twistingmyhairout

Oh nice! Yeah I think she’s hilarious and am happy to watch anything she has a hand in.


BlueGoosePond

June 14th is the US release date. You had me excited for a moment!


Lil_Brown_Bat

She was touring with Tina Fey doing a live show in the last year.


WhatWouldBenLinusDo

This year as well! Saw them a few weeks ago, excellent show.


Square-Biscotti4694

Inside Out 2 comes out this summer


sweetpotato_magic

her production company paper kite is also working on a documentary about American libraries that she is heavily involved in!


twistingmyhairout

So Leslie Knope of her!!! Love it!


tyler-86

She hosted the second season of Baking It with Maya (replacing Andy Samberg).


RepresentativeRegret

Said this in another comment but I could see her doing a cameo with Maya, especially since she’s still close with Rashida


FredererPower

What does Rashida Jones have to do with this?


RepresentativeRegret

Her partner is Ezra Koening, lead singer of Vampire Weekend


monsieurxander

Maya Rudolph can have an episode every year, as far as I'm concerned.


jscummy

I wouldn't complain if they wanted to give her 2 or 3 some seasons


Fluff_thetragicdragn

Fr, one of my fave shows is the last one she hosted. I was cracking up the whole way through!


sweettartspop

No Conan :( also would’ve loved Zendaya but I’ll take it


twistingmyhairout

I feel like Zendaya is playing into the Beyonce mold of making herself unavailable to the public and I love that for her. Also a reminder I need to go see Challengers….


singlesuitsamus

I think she’s just really shy/introverted. I saw on an interview she got held back from Kindergarten because she was so shy she never asked the teacher for help.


MissAnthropocene_

Well Beyoncé was on SNL


twistingmyhairout

Well that was before she stopped doing interviews. And it was a great show!!!


ConsistentDonkey3909

i wish ann hathaway was hosting instead of jake


Ariesthebigram

Vampire Weekend! Let's go!!!!


coloredverbs

So excited. They’ve appeared on SNL for all of their albums, w/ the exception of FOTB, so it’s now been over a decade since they were on last. Can’t wait! I’ll be at the show in St. Augustine in October


SCorpus10732

No. F*** Vampire Weekend. I care about an Oxford Comma.


Guardax

In college a roommate of mine used that song as his alarm and it would play 30 minutes every morning


TheMoneyOfArt

You can swear on the Internet


CARNIesada6

I'm going to see them in St Augustine in ~5 months and I'm really excited.


dreamcicle11

Sad no Conan. But I’m excited about potential cameos as well the next two episodes.


bttrsondaughter

Maya and Chloe Troast must do a lounge singer sketch, I’m declaring it here and now!


colinmchapman

Pending how Dua does-a this weekend, that has the potential of being a pretty solid run up to the end of the season.


DistinctSmelling

Then we're in the 50th. Who's hosting? Murray? Curtain?


Hot-Marketer-27

Ok so Rudolph is there is promote Loot & Gyllenhaal is there to promote... Presumed Innocent? I guess we're getting two episodes brought to you by Apple in a row.


twistingmyhairout

Maybe Roadhouse? Amazon REALLY wants me to watch it


jscummy

I would think he'd have been on months ago for Roadhouse


twistingmyhairout

Same! I just don’t know what else he’s got going on. But that damn thumbnail is on my Prime every time I pull it up.


Sanchez_U-SOB

I won't watch it because of Connor McGregor 


palookaboy

It's not as good as the original, but it's a fun time, I thought. Obviously you should be going into it knowing what you're about to get.


NotSureNotRobot

OH NO


pikameta

I just started watching Loot and it is *hilarious*. I'm kicking myself for not knowing about it earlier.


SyNiiCaL

Elated and devastated. I love Maya more than people in my family, but I was SO SURE that Conan was going to be hosting the finale.


nowhereman136

This is Maya Rudolph's 3rd time hosting This is Jake Gyllenhaal's 3rd time hosting This is Vampire Weekend's 4th time as musical guest This is Sabrina Carpenter's 1st time as musical guest


MoneyHungryOctopus

Jake Gyllenhaal is a decent host I guess but not necessary the most riveting choice considering he just hosted two years ago. Maya is always welcome. Hosting gig #3 for her. She becomes the Black woman with the most hosting appearances, breaking out of a tie with Queen Latifah.


profsavagerjb

I really want to see Kathryn Hahn host soon. And we need Beyoncé to come on and do something off Cowboy Carter


coltsmetsfan614

Love all four of these picks, but I'm especially excited for Sabrina! She's absolutely blowing up, and I couldn't be happier for her. "Espresso (Live on Saturday Night Live)" is gonna be amazing.


RonSwanson1081

Was hoping Jake Gyllenhaal would have Vampire weekend as musical guest since he was in their giving up the gun music video and I love that song


PissedOnBible

Vampire Weekend is incredible live and their new album is a gem. Can't wait.


osnapitzsunnyy

I can’t wait to see Sabrina perform Espresso, that song has been one repeat since it came out it’s so fun


roxtoby

These aren’t bad host picks by any means, but they seem strangely… boring?


bjau75

Gyllenhaal seems like an odd choice for the finale, especially considering the thing he's apparently promoting appears to be...an Apple TV+ series that's premiering in June? Maya makes a little more sense for the Mother's Day episode (She's got 4 kids!)


Eattoomanychips

Jake is boring imo. Conan or Mulaney would have been fun. They both have shows to promote and it’s them.


bjau75

It also feels like he JUST hosted, even though it was over 2 years ago at this point.


jsanders4289

Kind of sad they didn’t make any space for Jennifer Coolidge this season after her show got cancelled bc of the strikes last year


CokeWest

Replace Gyllenhall with Walton Goggins.


ConsistentDonkey3909

damnn was hoping for ann hathaway😭


ThyDoctor

Honestly I think Sabrina should double up. Girl is funny as shit


HealthyDiamond2

Maya fucking Rudolph! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!! She is my favorite!


Old_Distribution_235

So strong to me, you belong to me Like a very hairy Jake Gyllenhaal to me


foghat1981

Looks like Jennifer Coolidge may never get that make-up slot. Maybe when White Lotus comes back?


MoneyHungryOctopus

They never used to do make up slots. Covid era was an exception and Pete got a chance because he’s ex cast.


foghat1981

of course. that maybe isn't the best wording on my part. I meant it more like I wonder if her window is closed now. It would be great if she had a shot again, but who knows. The stars aligned last spring (until they didn't) and may not again.


MoneyHungryOctopus

I don’t think she’s going to be in White Lotus 3, so probably not unfortunately. But White Lotus raised her profile enough to where she might have another big project in the next few years. It’s a real shame too because she’s been in the Industry for like 30 years and she finally had a true breakout moment at like age 60. And it sucks she might not get that chance. But hopefully one day.


bjau75

I think the next thing she's gonna be in is the live-action "Minecraft" movie directed by Jared Hess (???) But that's probably not coming out until 2025 at least.


foghat1981

Yah…that’s exactly the sentiment is thinking. I hope she gets a chance still. Would be a shame if she didn’t


aerojockey

Maya's two hosting gigs underwhelmed me, I hope it's a better show this time. For that matter, true of Jake too, although I guess since he was never in the cast expectations are lower? I think when people get to their third time hosting they (the host and writers) have more grounding on what works. (For example, Kristen's shows have gotten better the more she's hosted.)


OregonBaseballFan

Oh damn, they are going back to established funny people here. Good work, SNL. Will be interesting to see how Dua does this weekend. I feel like this has been a season full of some really good episodes, and also some of the worst episodes ever. Very little in between.


MoneyHungryOctopus

Maybe a hot take but none of the episodes this year stand out as “worst ever” material. January’s 2 shows were not exceptional but even Elordi had one sketch that people thought was decent-to-good (bowling). Dakota Johnson had two that were pretty popular (Maury parody and PDD Roast). The season hasn’t had a lot of standouts but people were also quite negative about the first third of S48 before it picked up. Season 49 took longer-than-average to find its footing but the good ones (Brolin, Wiig, Gosling) have been strong and the others (Sweeney, Youssef) have been at least serviceable.


MukdenMan

You forgot about Bargatze


OregonBaseballFan

Great points here!


nowhereman136

I hope Sabrina carpenter does a sketch or two. She was really funny on Girl Meets World


dgt9000

They should get a metal band as musical guest. High On Fire have a new album that fuckin rips

**MAYA!!!!!!!!!** AND VAMPIRE WEEKEND?!?!?!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Very brave of VW for committing to this during the NHL playoffs, especially with the Rangers doing as good as they are.


Tron_Livesx

Kinda sad Jake isint hosting with VW as musical since he was in their music video


Kantaowns

Vampire Weekends new album is so fuckin good too. Thats gonna be a good episode.


deadlygr8ful

VW kick ass... great band.

I can’t believe of all the writer strike cancelled shows we got Pete Davidson but not Jennifer Coolidge 😭😭😭

jason9045

Booking Jake Gyllenhaal with Sabrina Carpenter is the biggest cry for Taylor Swift's attention I have ever seen


coloredverbs

What’s the connection?


RealMaxHours

The Taylor Swift who made an appearance on the show 6 months ago? Come on man, yall gotta stop acting like you know these people This relationship was what, 10 years ago? I doubt either of them care at all anymore


4evermore_nevermore

Sabrina has been in the industry for so many years, I am so excited she's getting this platform. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Jake Gyenhaal, but his skits and cameos are some of the most iconic so I am excited. Also Queen Maya?! Enough said. Great line up!!!


August_West_1990

What a deeply boring host selection. Jake has already worked with a lot of this cast and he wasn’t exactly Baldwin or Hanks either time he hosted, his second show being particularly bad (that godawful Tombstone parody). And I’m just sick of Maya, she already cameo’d once this season. A hammy and obnoxious presence who needs to have the attention on her at all times. I await the downvotes from the stans.


MsBrisby

I kind of get the sentiment. I love Maya and she’s great on the show. Jake has some great movies and middling SNL episodes. But I was kind of hoping to close out the season with two new hosts, maybe Lily Gladstone and Glen Powell.


Raptorpicklezz

Season finales are almost always shit because of the exhaustion. Anya Taylor-Joy (and to a lesser extent Natasha Lyonne) was the exception that proves the rule. Honestly, good that they're not wasting that episode on a better host than Gyllenhaal


RockMan_1973

I can somewhat understand Gyllenhaal but no idea at all why Maya? I appreciate her like the next longtime SNL follower but outside of Will Forte, Eddie Murphy, and Wiig’s last episode a few weeks ago—former cast members hosting has been mid, at best. And wasn’t she just on this last Christmas(?)


Locke108

Damn, I was hoping for an Anya Taylor Joy season finale again. She was the perfect host for one.


CoolGuyCarl

Both are ass lineups holy


cubansbottomdollar

In the minority but I'm not thrilled for the Maya Rudolph show. Her last hosting gig wasn't particularly great and I feel we saw her quite a bit as Kamala during election season in 2020. If the spot was going to an alum, I would have preferred maybe Amy or Bobby.


Buck_Slamchest

Maya !! So happy she’s hosting again.


Creative-Can5491

The next two episodes are going to be epic. Can't wait.

So Taylor’s ex and Taylor’s current opener on the same show.

May 11 will be watched on the 14th on YouTube.

I hope the current cast members' mothers show up for next week's show, I've always enjoyed when moms of cast appeared alongside their respective offspring during past Mother's Day shows!
