Memphis rap sensation GloRilla is set to bring her signature energy to one of the nation's most iconic stages, making her first appearance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" later this month. The fast-rising artist will feature alongside veteran comedian Dave Chappelle, who is returning for his fourth hosting gig with the sketch show. According to Action News 5, the performance is slated for the January 18th broadcast, marking one of the initial episodes of SNL's landmark 50th season.

The announcement came with SNL's confirmation of its January line-up, with Chappelle and GloRilla's episode to be followed by an equally buzz-worthy show on January 25, featuring "A Complete Unknown" star Timothée Chalamet. Not only will Chalamet host but he will also perform as the musical guest, putting him in the ranks of past multifaceted hosts according to reporting by Commercial Appeal, with stars such as Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Harry Styles, and Bad Bunny.

The historic 50th season of "Saturday Night Live," which kicked off in September, has continued to draw viewers with its strong musical lineup including names like Coldplay, Stevie Nicks, and Hozier. GloRilla, who was bestowed the key to Memphis last year, adds to the eclectic mix of talent that has graced the SNL stage this season, offering her fresh contributions to the show's robust musical legacy, as per Commercial Appeal.

Both Chappelle and GloRilla are entering SNL's orbit with their own share of accolades; Chappelle's latest special "The Dreamer" is nominated for best comedy album at the Grammy Awards, while GloRilla has snagged two Grammy nods for her single "Yeah Glo!" as detailed by Men's Journal, and Chappelle's 2020 hosting stint on SNL culminated in an Emmy win, an indication that the pair's upcoming episode might just be a harbinger of another award-winning performance or let's just say it will definitely be one to watch and leave out the speculative forecasting for those who deal in futures.
