Ariana Grande hosts the 'Saturday Night Live' season 51 Christmas episode with musical guest Cher as Bowen Yang says goodbye to 'SNL.'

Colin Jost and Michael Che brought back their fan-favorite joke swap segment on the "SNL" Christmas episode, but with a twist.

The entertainment news outlet reported Friday that Yang's final appearance on the show will take place on the Dec. 20 episode, which will be hosted by his friend and "Wicked" co-star Ariana Grande. Cher will serve as the musical guest. Representatives for "SNL" did not initially respond to ABC Audio's request for comment.

The legendary NBC sketch comedy show announced during tonight's show that season 51 will resume on Saturday, Jan. 17 with host Finn Wolfhard and musical guest A$AP Rocky. Aside from fighting Vecna on the final season of the Netflix hit, Wolfhard recently appeared in Jason Reitman's SNL biopic Saturday Night, playing an NBC page.

In the cold open for the final "SNL" of 2025, James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump talked about his Hunger Games and the Epstein files.

Bowen Yang said goodbye to “Saturday Night Live” with the final sketch of the night, which was also his last.

Bowen Yang shared a lengthy post on Instagram ahead of his final Saturday Night Live episode tonight. Yang’s sudden mid-season departure was announced Friday, bringing an end to his almost eight seasons on the show.

Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che once again celebrated the end of the year at "Saturday Night Live" with a joke swap — sort of. This time, Jost faced a bit of an ambush, as only Che had written some jokes for him.
