'Guardians of the Galaxy' Star Chris Pratt Hosting 'Saturday Night Live' NBC Season 40 Premiere Sept 27, Watch Preview with Cast Member Kate McKinnon Here (VIDEO)
With the 40th season premiere of "SNL" coming up this weekend, NBC has released a trailer with Pratt and cast member Kate McKinnon sharing about the upcoming episode (which you can watch above).
NBC announced earlier this Summer that Guardians of the Galaxy movie star Chris Pratt would host the premiere with musical guest on September 27th on NBC.
Guardians of the Galaxy has been the smash hit off the summer and weeks after its release is still on top of the box office. The Marvel movie became the highest grossing film of 2014 after four weeks at the box office bringing in $262.1 million to top previous best of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Grande released her sophomore album, My Everything, last month on August 25. She has been compared by many as the next Mariah Carey and much of her music even resembles the pop/r&b sounds of the 90's.
NBC's long-running live comedy show "Saturday Night Live" had a low season last year in ratings and entertainment value. With the underwhelming seasons, the cast has also seen many key members leave the past few seasons including Kristen Wiig and Nasim Pedrad.
For "SNL" second episode on October 4th, they have tapped comedian-actress (and former SNL cast member) Sarah Silverman to make her hosting debut, with Maroon 5 making their fifth overall appearance as musical guest. Silverman's latest comedy album, We Are Miracles (taken from her Emmy-winning HBO stand-up special) will hit shelves on September 23rd; Maroon 5 released their fifth LP, V, earlier this month.
The season will be the first in decades without the well known voice of announcer Don Pardo, who died last month at age 96. He was hired for SNL in 1975. Pardo's signature vocal delivery was a staple on the series for 38 seasons.
