All star line up for the 45 season of SNL.....

Fresh off her massive haul of Emmy nominations for both the comedy show “Fleabag” and the drama series “Killing Eve,” actor/writer/showrunner extraordinaire Phoebe Waller-Bridge will host “Saturday Night Live” on Oct. 5, adding another achievement to her string of successes.

Waller-Bridge — whose revival of her one-woman play that formed the basis of “Fleabag” sold out recent runs in both New York and London — will be joined by musical guest Taylor Swift. NBC on Monday announced Waller-Bridge and Swift as part of a star-studded first batch of hosts and musical guests for the late-night show, entering its 45th season this fall.

I quit on Fleabag after one episode and Killing Eve, though great in season 1, should have ended hlthe2b Aug 2019 #2

Maybe they can lure back Piscopo and we can see Gumby and Pokey: 36 years later.
