Why Is The Strokes' SNL Night Worth Watching?
The band's seventh album, Reality Awaits, came out earlier in 2026, and they're touring behind it. An SNL slot is one of the biggest live TV stages for a band with a new record.
They're also SNL veterans. Stereogum reports their most recent appearance was in 2020, when John Mulaney hosted.

Who Is Druski, and Why Is He Hosting SNL?
Druski will be the first online content creator to host SNL. That's the hook for most coverage of this episode.
The gig was first reported by Puck, then confirmed by NBC.
What Might The Strokes Play on SNL?
No setlist has been released yet. These are just guesses.
Based on the timing, we'd expect at least one song from Reality Awaits, since that's the album they're touring. Musical guests usually perform twice, so we'd also guess one older fan favorite for the crowd at home.
Who Else Is on SNL Season 52 in November?
The week after The Strokes, John Mulaney hosts on November 14. It's his seventh time hosting SNL. The musical guest is Phoebe Bridgers.
Bridgers last played SNL with boygenius in 2023. She recently released her third album, Lost Weekend, and she's on a phone-free tour.
