‘Saturday Night Live’: Season 44 Premiere Date on NBC

Studio 8H will reopen its doors in one month: Saturday Night Live will return for Season 44 on Sept. 29, the NBC sketchfest announced in a tweet on Wednesday.

A host and musical guest have not yet been announced for SNL‘s premiere… but we have some suggestions of our own.

SNL has 15 nominations going into this year’s Emmys — to be held Monday, Sept. 17, and hosted by Weekend Update’s Michael Che and Colin Jost — including five for supporting actors Kenan Thompson, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Alec Baldwin.

As previously reported, featured player Luke Null, who made his debut in Season 43, will not be back for the show’s 44th cycle.
