Fresh off last week’s cameo-heavy season premiere, Saturday Night Live is back this week with host Lin-Manuel Miranda and musical guest Twenty One Pilots.
What Will Twenty One Pilots Play? Musical guests typically perform two songs on SNL. Twenty One Pilots have three recent top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hits, so they’ll likely have to make a tough cut.
How will the masses react to Blurryface? Twenty One Pilots aren’t an underground act anymore, but they’re still a relatively niche band compared to what you typically see on SNL. They’ve come out of the shadows lately, getting big time attention from Suicide Squad and the ubiquity of their three hits.
Two Lin-Manuels: On last week’s “Family Feud: Political Edition,” Cecily Strong debuted a Lin-Manuel Miranda impression – goatee and all.
Unlikely Source of Inspiration Visits Young Lin-Manuel Miranda: Before Hamilton made him a household name – or, at the very least, a name no longer exclusive to the households of theater kids – Miranda wasn’t exactly destitute.
Last Call: If a historical sketch arrives earlier than 12:50 a.m., it’s safe to assume we’ll see a deranged “Sheila Sovage” try to mack on Lin-Manuel Miranda before the bar closes.
