‘SNL': Is There a New Episode Airing This Week?
“SNL” spent its 43rd season firing away at American politics and culture, with no shortage of ammunition coming from Donald Trump and the rest of the White House staff.
“SNL” aired its final episode of Season 43 on May 19. It featured famous “Saturday Night Live” alumna Tina Fey as host. The musical guest for the finale episode was Nicki Minaj.

Along with Fey, Season 43 saw a number of hosts who formerly worked on “SNL” returning to the show. The March 17 episode was hosted by “SNL” alumnus Bill Hader, and also featured a guest appearance by former “SNL” cast member Fred Armisen, playing “Fire and Fury” author Michael Wolff. John Goodman also made a surprise appearance, playing former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

Former “SNL” writer John Mulaney hosted the show in April, in an episode that included a big guest appearance surprise as well — its cold open featured Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, playing Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen and Special Counsel Robert Mueller, respectively. The pair did a political sketch riffing on their hit comedy, “Meet the Parents.” It was Stiller’s first appearance as Cohen, a role he returned to several times throughout the last few two months of Season 43. The season finale saw the return of both Stiller and De Niro as Cohen and Mueller, joining Alec Baldwin as Trump, Kate McKinnon as Rudy Giuliani, and Mikey Day as Donald Trump Jr.
Will Ferrell, who left the show way back in 2002, also played host this season. His Jan. 27 episode marked Ferrell’s fourth turn as host for the show in the last 16 years, and his first return to lead the show since 2012. Singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton took on the role of musical guest.
