Wait, what? Does this mean that everyone in the audience will be getting a free Tesla? There’s a new report that says Elon Musk is set to host Saturday Night live. The 49-year-old super billionaire, who is married to musician Grimes, will be joined on the night by musical guest Miley Cyrus. Here’s what you need to know.
NBC announced over the weekend that Musk would host Saturday Night Live on May 8. The iconic sketch-comedy show is in its 46th season. While it’s his first time to host SNL, he’s no stranger to television.
He’s made guest appearances on the CBS shows Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory. His voice has also been heard on the animated shows South Park, The Simpsons and Rick and Morty. If that weren’t enough, he made a cameo in the film Iron Man 2.
Elon Musk Is Hosting Saturday Night Live
So far, the reaction to the news has been rather mixed. Apparently, Deadline.com is one of few sites who think this is actually a good idea. They wrote “seems like a left-field choice for a sketch comedy show (but) has shown a quick wit in his online dealings with fans, foes and the like, so may have a few surprises in store.”
Yet, Variety writer Jenelle Riley said she was disappointed with the show’s choice, adding: “A host should have some discernible talent other than…being rich?”
The Tesla and SpaceX owner, who is said to be worth a whopping $186 billion, has some experience of showbiz having appeared on The Simpsons, The Big Bang Theory, South Park, and Rick and Morty. He also popped up in 2010 superhero film Iron Man 2.
Recent SNL celebrity hosts have included Adele, Bridgerton’s Rege-Jean Page, and Oscar nominees Daniel Kaluuya and Carey Mulligan. We’ll update you with all of the latest details as they come in.
