The forty-sixth season of the NBC comedy series Saturday Night Live premiered on October 3, 2020, during the 2020–21 television season with host Chris Rock and musical guest Megan Thee Stallion.[1][2][3] With the previous season cut short amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the show instead airing three remotely produced episodes referred to as Saturday Night Live at Home, the season premiere marked the return to Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.[1] Lorne Michaels said that the show aims to have a "limited" in-studio audience, and that they will "work closely with Gov. Cuomo's team."[4]
Cast
On September 15, 2020, it was announced that the entire cast from last season would be returning, with Ego Nwodim, a featured player since 2018, being promoted to repertory status while Chloe Fineman and Bowen Yang remained as featured players.[5][6]
On September 16, SNL staff writer Andrew Dismukes, Upright Citizens Brigade player Lauren Holt and stand-up comedian Punkie Johnson were added to the cast as featured players.[4]
Though not members of the cast, on September 16, 2020 it was announced that Alec Baldwin and Maya Rudolph would reprise their respective roles as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris,[7] while Jim Carrey would take over impersonating Joe Biden.[4] Biden had been portrayed by Woody Harrelson, John Mulaney, and Jason Sudeikis during the previous season.
