Saturday Night Live (Saturday, NBC, 11 p.m.): Molly’s Game star Jessica Chastain hosts Saturday Night Live for the first time this weekend, which is a potentially risky move. She’s obviously no stranger to pressure, having led several high-stakes dramas, including Zero Dark Thirty and The Huntsman: Winter’s War, but she’s not exactly known for her improv skills. Chastain might also end up distracted by her simmering feud with SNL cast member Kyle Mooney, which this promo does little to clarify. Dennis Perkins has a theory that it all started with Mooney calling Chastain “Bryce Dallas Howard,” but we’ll find out Saturday night.
