Cher returns to *SNL* after 38 years with Ariana Grande hosting
NBC has announced a star-studded line-up for Saturday Night Live in December 2025. The month will close with a historic return: Cher will perform as the musical guest on the 20th. This marks her first full musical appearance on the show in 38 years, since her last slot in 1987.
The December 20 episode will be hosted by Ariana Grande, pairing her with the iconic singer. Cher's last full performance as a musical guest dates back to 1987, though she made a brief cameo in 2011 and appeared at SNL50: The Homecoming Concert earlier this year.
The December 20 episode will reunite Cher with SNL after nearly four decades. Her performance joins a line-up that also features Grande, McCarthy, and Allen. The show airs live on NBC, with further details expected closer to the broadcast dates.
