SNL is constantly splitting the difference between featuring old favorites and new stars. Behind-the-scenes drama has led to a few spats where specific celebrities have been temporarily or permanently banned from the show, but in general, the show is welcoming to former stars.
Steve Martin and Martin Short are frequent collaborators in the comedy genre, and are also SNL favorites — Short was a cast member while Martin was a frequent host. They served as guest hosts on this December 10, 2022 episode.
