Dave Chappelle Announced As Host For Post-Election “SNL” Episode
We’re just days away from what many people are describing as the biggest election to date. It’s either another four years with Trump in office or America elects Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as his and Pence’s successors. It was only four years ago when Dave Chappelle hit the stage at SNL, wishing the president luck while asking for a chance for disenfranchised communities. “I’m going to give him a chance, and we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one too,” he famously said. Well, people had no choice to give him a chance but still, Trump fulfilled some of America’s biggest nightmares.
Things will be coming full-circle next Saturday as NBC has revealed the host of next week’s episode of Saturday Night Live. Dave Chappelle will be hosting the first post-2020 election SNL episode on November 7th and there’s no doubt that he’ll ruffle a few features. Likely both Republicans and Democrats. No musical guest has been revealed as of yet but perhaps, SNL has something special up their sleeve.
His 2016 appearance on SNL marked his first time hosting the show in his career, as well as his major return to network television after stepping back from the limelight. Despite the offense some took, Chappelle’s monologue reassured that he hadn’t lost his comedic touch. He later won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.
In related news, those who are excited about his appearance on Saturday Night Live next week can prepare by watching The Chappelle Show on Netflix. The streaming giant is finally hosting Chappelle’s famed sketch comedy show on its platform.

PLAN-A-EMCEE unveils a call to see clearly with latest release “Lyrically Reclaim Your Brain”
PLAN-A-EMCEE‘s latest release, “Lyrically Reclaim Your Brain,” is a lo-fi hip hop and cloud rap album with a waking-up theme. This one is for those stuck in an NPC-like life, moving toward awakening and ready to challenge their environment. The infectious hook is hard to miss, and delivers the song’s main message, “unmask the blindfold, that you might see!”
The track concept is simple and focused, produced by and rapped by Emcee PLAN-A-EMCEE, aka Anwar. The combination creates a direct relationship between the beat and the vocals, keeping the message front and center. The busy musical approach lets the words do the heavy lifting over the cold lo-fi base.
“Lyrically Reclaim Your Brain” is a musical reminder to pause, look closer, and be more aware of your surroundings. PLAN-A-EMCEE turns that idea into a memorable hip-hop statement, with an infectious refrain and an undeniably purposeful edge.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Just Swept The Emmys
Bad Bunny is officially an Emmy winner — and not just once. At Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, his Super Bowl LX Halftime Show swept every single category it was nominated in, all seven of them, making it the most-decorated nominee of the night.
The headline win was Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a category the show became only the third halftime show ever to claim. From there it just kept going: music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction and camerawork, and directing all went home with the Puerto Rican star’s team. There’s technically an eighth trophy with his name attached, too, though it won’t land in his hands — the “Saturday Night Live” episode he hosted last season separately won Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program.
The sweep is good news for Jay-Z as well. As an executive producer on the halftime show, he now has two Emmys to his name, having previously won for producing Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance in 2025 — the show that, until Saturday, held the record for most Emmys won by a Super Bowl performance.
Bad Bunny wasn’t the only one having a night. Sabrina Carpenter picked up her first Emmy as a performer and executive producer on “The Muppet Show,” edging out Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour | The Final Show” for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). The Billy Joel HBO miniseries “And So It Goes” won for sound mixing on a nonfiction program, and 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” took home picture editing honors. A big weekend for live spectacle, all around.
