SNL is loading up November with a lineup pop and comedy fans can actually get excited about. Phoebe Bridgers will be the musical guest on Nov. 14, with John Mulaney hosting for the seventh time. The announcement, made Thursday, also revealed The Strokes as the Nov. 7 musical guest alongside Druski’s hosting debut.
Bridgers arrives with serious momentum. Her new album Lost Weekend debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. albums chart, and her 2021 SNL appearance is still famous for the moment she smashed her guitar during“Kyoto.”Whether the guitar survives round two is the internet’s favorite question right now.
For The Strokes, this marks their fifth SNL musical guest stint, so the rock vets know the drill. The bookings also land shortly after Shane Gillis’Oct. 10 monologue drew backlash over comments about women’s gym attire, making this a noticeably lighter, buzzier direction for the show. So, are you team“smash the guitar”or team“leave it in one piece”? Let us know.
