Saturday Night Live Hosts and Musical Guest for April 11 Show Colman Domingo, the "Euphoria" star and former performer on Logo TV’s "The Big Gay Sketch Show," is set to make his debut on "Saturday Night Live" on April 11. The actor, known for his comedic timing and recent Oscar nominations, will share the stage with Brazilian singer-songwriter Anitta, who will serve as the week’s musical guest. This marks the first time both artists will appear together on the iconic sketch comedy show. Domingo, who previously starred alongside "SNL" alum Tina Fey in the film "The Four Seasons" and will portray Joe Jackson in the upcoming biopic "Michael," has a history of performing in comedic roles. His work on "The Big Gay Sketch Show" included a standout Maya Angelou impression, which he used to read Craigslist ads—a bit that gained attention for its sharp wit and cultural commentary. In a March 26 X post, Domingo humorously referenced his past sketch work, writing, “Finally. Back to my sketch history. We will have fun.” Anitta, a rising star in the music industry, has released seven studio albums and is set to drop her eighth, titled EQUILIBRIVM, on April 16. The singer, known for her unique blend of pop and electronic music, has gained international acclaim for her energetic performances and genre-defying sound. Her collaboration with Domingo on "SNL" promises a mix of humor and musical flair, reflecting the show’s tradition of blending comedy with pop culture. The April 11 episode will air on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. PT, with new episodes typically streaming the following day on Peacock. Fans can also access past "SNL" episodes anytime on the Peacock platform.#peacock #saturday_night_live #colman_domingo #anitta #the_big_gay_sketch_show
Anitta Makes History as First Brazilian Artist to Appear on Saturday Night Live Saturday Night Live, a long-running sketch comedy series that has been a cultural touchstone for decades, is set to make history with its upcoming musical guest appearance by Brazilian artist Anitta. The episode, scheduled for April 11, will mark the first time a Brazilian headliner has ever graced the show’s iconic Studio 8H stage. This milestone underscores Anitta’s growing global influence and her status as a trailblazer in the international music scene. Anitta, whose real name is Anitta Carolina de Oliveira, has already established herself as a prominent figure in both Brazil and the United States. Her 2020 collaboration with Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers and American rapper Cardi B, titled “Me Gusta,” became a massive hit, propelling her into the mainstream. The track’s catchy melody and bold lyrics resonated with audiences worldwide, earning her a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. Beyond “Me Gusta,” Anitta has also contributed to the soundtrack of the 2020 reboot of Charlie’s Angels, further solidifying her presence in popular culture. The significance of Anitta’s SNL appearance extends beyond her musical achievements. The show, which has hosted a wide array of artists from Taylor Swift to Billie Eilish, has long been a platform for launching careers and elevating artists to mainstream fame. For Anitta, the opportunity to perform on Studio 8H represents a major step in her career, as it places her firmly in the public consciousness of American audiences. The show’s host for the April 11 episode, Colman Domingo, will join Anitta on stage, adding to the event’s cultural weight.#saturday_night_live #colman_domingo #anitta_carolina_de_oliveira #daniel_ramalho #charlies_angels_reboot
