It was announced during last night’s broadcast that comedian Ramy Youssef will host the Saturday, March 30 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” and Travis Scott will serve as musical guest. This marks Youssef’s first time hosting and Scott’s second time as musical guest, having made his debut in 2018.

Youssef, who is the fourth standup comedian to host the show this season, is out promoting his new HBO comedy special, “Ramy Youssef: More Feelings,” which premieres Saturday, March 23 on Max, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service. In the special, Youssef discusses discrimination in America, amomg other topics. Youssef can also be seen in the Oscar-nominated film “Poor Things,” which stars Emma Stone and is currently up for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

In a trailer for “More Feelings,” Youssef talks about being done apologizing and saying peaceful things, noting, “For 20 years, we’ve had to prove to people that we’re safe. Every time you turn on CNN, there’s some Arab dude talking about how ‘Islam’ means ‘peace.’ You know that guy? But he’s always shouting it. He’s always like, ‘We come in peace!’” 

Continuing, Youssef added, “You’re like, ‘Bro, that’s the slogan for aliens,’” while pointing out, “‘That’s what aliens say before they take over the f’ing planet, bro.’ I’m done. I’m done saying sorry.”

In 2020, Youssef won a Golden Globe for his role in the Hulu original comedy series Ramy. The series followed the title character, who was caught between a religious Muslim community that believes life is a moral test and a millennial generation that doubts an afterlife exists. The show ended after a three season run in 2022.

Travis Scott’s latest album, “Utopia,” was released last July, and in October, he kicked off the Circus Maximus Tour in support of the music. The ten-time Grammy-nominated rapper performed three songs off the album during last month’s Grammy Awards.
