Happy Halloween! To celebrate everyone’s favorite spine-tingling, bone-chilling, hair-raising holiday, Saturday Night Live is bringing in none other than Obsession star Inde Navarrette to host the show. The horror movie is undoubtedly the actor’s breakout role, and her performance has been one of the most talked-about this year. Tonight’s SNL will mark her hosting debut.
Inde Navarrette Is Hosting ‘SNL’ on Halloween
It’ll be the fourth episode of Season 52, which premiered on Sept. 26 with host Jalen Brunson and musical guest KATSEYE; however, this is only the fifth episode to air on Halloween since the series burst onto the TV scene in 1975. The last Halloween episode was hosted by SNL fave John Mulaney in 2020 for Season 46, with The Strokes as a musical guest.
Navarrette will be joined by musical guest Gracie Abrams, who will perform for the second time on the long-running sketch comedy series. Navarrette appeared alongside SNL cast member Grace Reiter in a promo for the episode, in which we see multiple takes of said promo with Navarrette and Reiter “struggling” to get through it. It ends with Navarrette insisting that Obsession is a “rom-com” despite Reiter stating the contrary. (Season 52 is also Reiter’s own debut on the series as a featured player.)
Another promo for the Halloween episode features Navarrette, Abrams, and SNL cast member Jane Wickline, who’s in her third season on the show.
Before Obsession, Navarrette starred in the 2020 mystery thriller Wander Darkly opposite Diego Luna and Sienna Miller. She also starred in the fourth and final season of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why before playing Sarah Cushing in Superman & Lois opposite Tyler Hoechlin‘s Clark Kent and Elizabeth Tulloch‘s Lois Lane. This summer, it was announced that the new horror queen would be joining Marvel’s untitled X-Men movie as Anna Marie/Rogue.
Tonight’s SNL outing airs live at 8:30 p.m. PT/12:30 a.m. ET on NBC. If you don’t have cable, you can stream the episode on Peacock.
