Noah Kahan recently made his second appearance on Saturday Night Live, performing songs from his fourth studio album, 'The Great Divide.'

His previous SNL appearance in December 2023 featured songs from his breakthrough album, which included the hit 'Stick Season.' The season finale of SNL is set to feature Will Ferrell and Paul McCartney.
