Saturday Night Live U.K. announces that Jeff Goldblum will host the series’ Season 2 premiere. The episode is scheduled to air on Sky on September 12, with Goldblum appearing as the guest host for the debut installment of the new season.
Both outlets describe Goldblum as a familiar figure to the SNL format. They note that he has previously hosted the American edition of Saturday Night Live twice, in 1993 and 1997. Variety also highlights his connections to the U.K., citing his involvement with filming the Wicked films and a U.K. tour earlier this year with his band, while Deadline frames his casting as an SNL veteran-led opener for the U.K. series’ second season.
