Anya Taylor-Joy and Mad TV's Keegan-Michael Key to host SNL later this month
Hey, look at that: Things over at Saturday Night Live aren’t entirely inexplicably dumb, and it is still possible to find hosts who aren’t union-busting billionaires! Lorne Michaels just had to be open to inviting hosts over from SNL’s biggest competitor—though it’s only a “competitor” in the sense that some guy selling hamburgers on the street is competing with McDonald’s. Anyway, we’re talking about Mad TV, with former Mad TV cast member Keegan-Michael Key (who apparently went on to do a more high-profile sketch comedy series after that) being named as the host of the show’s upcoming May 15 episode alongside muuusical guest Olivia Rodrigo. Key won’t be the first Mad TVer to appear on SNL (Taran Killam was a cast member on both!), but this is still a positive development for anyone still holding onto some kind of Mad TV/SNL rivalry.
