Jean Smart hosted, while Jelly Roll was the musical guest; neither had previously appeared in those respective SNL roles, according to the Associated Press account of the premiere. The appearance was Jelly Roll’s musical-guest debut, not an acting, cast-member or hosting debut.

How many people watched the Season 50 premiere?
NBC reported that 5.3 million people watched the premiere live, as reported by the Associated Press. AP described it as the show’s best opening since 2020. Separately, NBC said the episode was the most-watched SNL episode on Peacock in its first weekend. That Peacock milestone is specific to the platform and time period; it is not an overall audience total and should not be combined with the live-viewer figure. AP’s report attributes both audience claims to NBC.
