After the Writers Guild of America and movie studios reached a tentative agreement back in September, the WGA strike ended, which meant SNL and other late-night talk shows could return.

After its return in October, the sketch show is now back in the full swing, with the latest episode being fronted by Timothée Chalamet and musical guest boygenius.

Both of Chalamet's upcoming films, Wonka and Dune: Part Two were mentioned during his appearance, and he also impersonated Troye Sivan in a comedy sketch.

With SNL now back in action, who will be hosting the comedy sketch show next? Here's everything you need to know about SNL's latest host and musical guest.
