Story summary
Jalen Brunson, the NBA Finals MVP for the New York Knicks, hosted the premiere episode of Saturday Night Live's 52nd season on September 26, 2026. Brunson, who helped win the Knicks their first championship in 53 years by averaging 32.6 points per game during the Finals, brought four of his teammates—Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, O.G. Anunoby, and Josh Hart—to share in the spotlight. During his monologue, Brunson joked about taking a $113 million pay cut to re-sign with the Knicks and responded to questions from his teammates, including whether someone could foul out of "SNL." The show also featured musical guest Katseye and introduced new cast members Saidah Belo-Osagie and Grace Reiter.
