Can Druski Be SNL Host & Musical Guest? Strokes Weigh In
6 Nov
Summary
- Druski aims to host and perform music on SNL simultaneously.
- The Strokes are already confirmed as this week's musical guest.
- Druski playfully pretends to play guitar in new SNL promos.
In promotional videos for the upcoming Saturday Night Live episode, first-time host Druski humorously declares his intention to serve as both the host and the musical guest. This aspiration is met with gentle correction from cast member Sarah Sherman and the band The Strokes, who are already slated to perform as the musical act. Druski is seen playfully pantomiming an electric guitar solo, asking if he can indeed perform double duty.
Julian Casablancas, frontman for The Strokes, acknowledges Druski's performance with a compliment but confirms the band's existing role. This weekend's show features Druski as host and The Strokes as the musical guest for their fourth time. The band's previous SNL performances were in 2002, 2006, and 2011. They are currently promoting their latest album, "Reality Awaits," released in July, which achieved notable chart positions.
Saturday Night Live broadcasts weekly at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and is also available for streaming on Peacock.
