Druski Hosts SNL Tonight — Where to Watch Live for Free

A post-election edition of Saturday Night Live always draws extra interest — and this one carries a bit of television history with it.

Comedian and actor Druski is set to host SNL, becoming the first person whose fame comes largely from online content creation to take the show’s hosting reins.

He’s no stranger to mainstream stages: earlier this year Druski became the youngest person to host the BET Awards, and his new Netflix series, Collect and Praise, premieres Dec. 1.

Druski is likely to bring some of the comedic characters he developed online to the SNL stage, so viewers may recognize familiar bits.
