Scarlett Johansson Brings 50th Season of 'SNL' to a Low-Key Close

  • Saturday Night Live concluded its 50th season with a reflective finale hosted by Scarlett Johansson on May 23, 2025.
  • The finale followed a season marked by media discussion about Lorne Michaels' future leadership and record-setting hosting by Johansson.
  • Highlights included a digital short by Please Don't Destroy, a cold open featuring James Austin Johnson as Trump, and a cast-led song closing the season.
  • Johansson set a record with her seventh hosting, leading a cast performance to Billy Joel's 'Piano Man' tune, reflecting on a year with an election, anniversary, and concert.
  • The season ended without major cast departures announced aside from Sarah Sherman's planned exit, and the show plans to return in the fall amid some uncertainty.
