Finn Wolfhard, known for his role as Mike in the hit series Stranger Things, will host an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL) on January 17, 2026. This marks his debut as a host on the iconic sketch comedy show, following the eagerly awaited finale of the Netflix series that has captured audiences worldwide.
Wolfhard, at just 22 years old, has made a name for himself not only as an actor but also as a director and musician. He recently released his debut solo album during the summer, adding to his artistic pursuits alongside his work with the rock band The Aubreys.
In addition to Wolfhard’s hosting duties, the episode will feature A$AP Rocky as the musical guest. The rapper’s new album, titled Don’t Be Dumb, will be released just one day prior, generating excitement for fans of both the artist and the show.
SNL’s previous episode concluded the year 2025 with an appearance by singer Ariana Grande, who hosted alongside music legend Cher. This transition into the new year with Wolfhard at the helm promises to bring fresh energy and creativity to the long-running program.
As anticipation builds for this episode, audiences can look forward to Wolfhard’s unique blend of humor and talent, making his hosting debut one of the highlights of the upcoming SNL season.
