Team Janine! Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson is set to host NBC's Saturday Night Live on April 1, with musical guest Lil Yachty also making their debut. Quinta's already had a successful year, scooping up an Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG award with her Abbott Elementary cast. The show, created by Brunson, has been gaining in popularity with its stars Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter and Chris Perfetti. Lil Yachty is also having a resurgence with his album Let's Start Here, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Album chart. He's even been producing tracks for artists like Drake & 21 Savage's "BackOutsideBoyz" and "Privileged Rappers" from 2022's Her Loss.
This SNL episode will also be the first since NBC and the SNL editors and post-production staff reached a new tentative deal, providing them a 60% wage raise over a three-year contract, avoiding a potential strike. Cathy Repola, National Executive Director of Motion Picture Editors Guild, commented on the agreement saying, “Thanks to the tremendous resolve of the crew, we reached a deal that represents real achievement in each of the areas our members identified as key, including dramatic improvements in wages.” So, mark your calendars- we now have Saturday plans!
