Chappelle comes back to SNL for the fourth time. He addressed the country following the weighty presidential elections of 2016 and 2020, before returning in 2022. The comic is joined for this week’s episode by musical guest GloRilla, who’s coming off of a pair of Grammy nominations for her single “Yeah Glo!”.

Following the January shows, SNL returns in mid-February with SNL50: The Anniversary Special on Sunday, February 16.

Saturday Night Live is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
