“Saturday Night Live” season 39, episode 15: “Lena Dunham/The National” premieres tonight on NBC.
In this weeks episode, Lena Dunham hosts Saturday Night Live alongside musical guest The National. This is Lena’s first time hosting SNL. The writer, producer and actress and creator “Girls” considers herself a Saturday Night Live superfan says her hosting gig on SNL is a dream come true. Tune in tonight to catch the hilarity!
NBC’s description of “Saturday Night Live” is as follows:
“A late-night comedy show featuring several short skits, parodies of television commercials, a live guest band and a pop-cultural guest host each week. Many of the SNL players have spun off successful independent comedy and/or movie careers from here. With live show surprises, especially those timed to the national elections – from Barack Obama’s surprise walk-on, Hillary Clinton’s performance opposite Amy Poehler, and Sen. John McCain’s “Weekend Update” appearance – SNL is making headlines and influencing the political dialogue while skewering it at the same time. Beyond politics, the show’s cast of recurring characters and take on pop culture targets remains spot-on. The addition of the show’s Emmy Award-winning SNL Digital Shorts continues to keep the show as current today as it was when it debuted.”
Saturday Night Live season 39, episode 15 airs March 8 on NBC at 11:30 p.m. EST. Check out the preview of the upcoming episode below.
