Jelly Roll is set to be the first musical guest of Saturday Night Live’s monumental 50th season, a booking that left the rising star overwhelmed with emotion.
“The premiere of the 50th season of SNL. BRB, going to cry for a few hours and call every family member I have,” the artist shared on social media after the announcement.
Known for his heartfelt, therapeutic music, Jelly Roll expressed his gratitude and excitement. “Bringing therapeutic music to my favorite show ever,” he continued. “God is good.”
The September 28 episode will be hosted by award-winning actress Jean Smart, who recently won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Hacks. Notably, Jelly Roll performed his powerful song “I Am Not Okay” during the in memoriam segment at this year’s Emmys.
Jelly Roll’s performance on SNL is set to mark another major milestone in his rising career. Fans can expect an emotional and impactful performance from the artist when the 50th season premieres later this month.
