There are just a few Saturday Evening Dwell episodes left within the present’s milestone fiftieth season, which suggests there are just a few extra stars on the docket to function host. Quinta Brunson is up at bat subsequent, on Might 3, whereas Scarlett Johansson is ready to shut out the season on Might 17. Smack dab in between the 2 actresses, although, is actor Walton Goggins, who’ll host the present on Might 10. As a fan of Goggins, I’m extremely excited to see what he does, and it might appear that stars like Josh Lucas and Jack Black share my enthusiasm.
It was introduced on the finish of this previous week that Walton Goggins would host Saturday Evening Dwell, with Arcade Hearth serving as musical visitor. The previous a number of months have seen some wonderful SNL hosts take the stage in Studio 8H, however the notion of a comedic expertise like Goggins taking the reins actually excites me. When the information was introduced, the fan-favorite actor took to his Instagram account to share it. Dax Shepard, Josh Lucas, Jack Black and extra stars then took to the feedback to hype up Goggins:
- Man. I cannot wait to see you do that! – Josh Lucas
- NO WAY!!!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️ – Dax Shepard
- Coming in scorching!!! – Jack Black
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🔥❤️ – Edi Patterson
- THIS IS THE BEST👏 – Tony Cavalero
- 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 – Natasha Rothwell
You’ll be able to’t assist however smile upon the sight of stars hyping up a fellow performer. In fact, the actors famous above have been removed from the one customers to weigh in enthusiastically, as non-celebrity followers additionally shared their pleasure. These feedback are additionally a real testomony to the truth that the Alabama native has greater than struck a chord together with his numerous performances. I completely perceive the hype, because the Justified alum has and continues to place in wonderful work.
Though Walton Goggins has been working in Hollywood for a while now, the previous a number of years have actually seen him emerge as a highly-sought-after performer. Fallout, Invincible, George & Tammy and The Righteous Gems are just some of the TV exhibits on which he’s had starring roles. Most lately, Goggins obtained reward for his function as Rick Hatchett on The White Lotus (which is accessible to stream with a Max subscription). Some may say that his “heartthrob standing” grew on account of the HBO anthology sequence.
It’s attention-grabbing to think about what Walton Goggins may do on Saturday Evening Dwell. Proper now, I’m tempted to imagine that the solid will make use of his Southern heritage and signature drawl whereas developing with sketch concepts. There could even be a White Lotus parody throughout that episode although, after the “White Potus” debacle involving Aimee Lou Wooden (who took offense to the sketch lampooning her signature enamel), the present could decide to not craft one other parody. An even bigger shock can be if Wooden appeared alongside former co-star Goggins on SNL amid rumors that they’re feuding.
We’ll nonetheless have to attend a couple of weeks to see what precisely occurs throughout that individual episode. I’m assured that it’ll be effectively well worth the wait, and that I – together with Dax Shepard, Jack Black and extra – will likely be happy with it. For proper now, although, let’s sustain the hypothesis concerning what sort of enjoyable sketches we would see in the course of the present.
Walton Goggins’ episode of Saturday Evening Dwell airs at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC as a part of the 2025 TV schedule. Know that episodes of the long-running sketch comedy sequence may also be streamed with a Peacock subscription.
