Saturday Night Live Season 44 is finally making its return after a long winter hiatus. The first episode of the winter season will likely be a marvelous one since Rachel Brosnahan, star of Amazon Prime's award-winning series, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, is slated to host the show on Saturday.
The moment will mark Brosnahan's first time on the show, although it certainly won't be the first time Mrs. Maisel has made an appearance on SNL. Longtime cast member Aidy Bryant, who appears somewhat annoyed by the excitement over Brosnahan's hosting gig in an SNL promo, has delivered hilarious renditions of Brosnahan's Midge on the show.
While it's unclear what Brosnahan has in store for fans when she hosts SNL, the probability of a Mrs. Maisel riff with her and Bryant seems high.

Who's performing: Grammy-nominated rock band Greta Van Fleet will also make their first appearance on SNL on Saturday. The Michigan brand, comprised of brothers Josh, Jake and Sam Kiszka and their buddy Danny Wagner, will likely perform hits from their 2018 debut album Anthem of the Peaceful Army.
When: SNL will air during it's usual Saturday timeslot at 11 p.m. ET.
Where: The return of the sketch comedy show will be broadcast on NBC.
Can it be live streamed: SNL can certainly be viewed via live stream. Folks without access to cable can catch the show on NBC's website or app—as long as they have a cable provider's information to log in. The show will also be available on Hulu Live TV, although those with standard subscriptions will have to wait until after the show airs to see it on-demand. The best skits and sketches of the night will be uploaded on YouTube shortly after the show airs, and viewers can keep up with all the SNL conversation by following the hashtag #SNL on Twitter and Facebook.
