Get ready to kick, stretch, and kick with excitement this weekend, asSaturday Night LivealumMolly Shannonis returning to the sketch comedy show as host. The upcoming airing will mark Shannon’s second time as host forSNL. She will be accompanied by musical guests theJonas Brothers, who return for the third time. Ahead of this Saturday’s episode, a new promo was released featuring Shannon just as thrilled to head back to Studio 8H as we are to see her.
The latest promo begins asShannonwalks through the halls with “Call Me Superstar” byPhotroniqueas the backing track. As she makes her way to the main stage, a brief montage of some of Shannon’s most iconicSNLperformances plays on another screen – and you could say that we love it (times three). Beaming from anticipation, Shannon heads out following her introduction, but unfortunately, she walks out to an almost completely empty studio. She asks a crew member about the lack of people, and she realizes it’s only Wednesday – which is actually rather fitting as the first promos typically tend to drop on Wednesdays. However, nothing can quell her excitement as she returns to wait just behind the stage door until the weekend.
Shannon first graced theSNLstage back in 1995 when she began her run as a cast member for the show. She ultimately remained on the series for seven seasons total, departing in 2001. She returned to make her hosting debut in May 2007. Throughout her run on the series, Shannon became known fora number of iconic characters, including the 50-year-old Sally O’Malley, “joyologist” Helen Madden, and Catholic school girl Mary Katherine Gallagher — who later receivedher own movieentitledSuperstar— to name a few.
