The January 30 episode will be hosted by John Krasinski with Machine Gun Kelly as the musical guest. John Krasinski is best known for playing Jim on The Office and Machine Gun Kelly has recently released ‘Tickets to My Downfall’ which saw Machine Gun Kelly take a break from his rap roots and try his hand at a more pop-punk sound. On February 13 SNL has tabbed Regina King to host and Nathaniel Rateliff will be the musical guest. Regina King’s directorial debut, One Night in Miami, was just released on Amazon Prime and Nathaniel Rateliff released his album ‘And It’s Alright’ in February of 2020. 

This will be the SNL debut for all of the musical guests announced. To be chosen as the musical guest for SNL marks a milestone in many artists’ careers.
