Saturday Night Live (SNL) Season 47 has gone on a three-week break. NBC aired the last episode (Episode 12) on January 29.
While fans wondered why there were no new episodes last week, the network announced the upcoming installment’s release date. Episode 13 is now set to air on February 26 at 11.30 PM Eastern Time (ET) and 8.30 PM Pacific Time Zone (PT).
The reason behind the postponement of the new episode is the 2022 Winter Olympics. As it streams on NBC, SNL’s slot is booked.
John Mulaney will host the new episode

Mulaney joined the show in 2008 as a writer and continued writing scripts and monologs till 2012. He even won an Emmy for Justin Timberlake’s monolog from 2011.
