Saturday Night Live announced a special pair of guests for its May 8 broadcast, and as the weekend approaches, talk around the showing is heating up.
On Thursday, Saturday Night Live posted a brand new teaser to promote the upcoming show hosted by Elon Musk, with musical guest Miley Cyrus on Saturday, May 8, set to air at 8:30pm PDT/11pm EDT.
The clip below shows Musk saying he’s hosting SNL this week and that he’s a “wild card so there’s no telling what I’m going to do.”
In the second clip, Musk was asked what’s new and he replied, “I just had a successful launch this week”, referring to SpaceX and its recent successful rocket launch Starship SN15.

A recent rise in Dogecoin occurred after it was announced that Musk would be hosting the comedy show, with many traders of the meme cryptocurrency not wanting to miss the action involved with the upcoming performance.
After the announcement, Musk went on to dub himself the “Dogefather” to promote the upcoming performance.
In a recent visit to New York City, Musk was asked if he had plans to do jokes about Dogecoin by the press on the street, in addition to whether he planned to do any impressions or other bits.
Earlier this week, Musk was ordered by a judge to turn over documents and communications relating to his $55 billion compensation plan, which some shareholders argued was “unjust compensation” that breaches financial responsibilities to the company and investors.
