Jalen Brunson and KATSEYE Are Locked In for SNL's Season 52 Premiere
Saturday Night Live spent the week getting ready for Season 52, and nearly everything it posted pointed at the premiere with host Jalen Brunson and musical guest KATSEYE. Seven videos went up, and the busiest pair arrived on the same Thursday: the formal "Jalen Brunson and KATSEYE Are Locked In for SNL's Season 52 Premiere" and its lowercase, triple-exclamation twin, "season 52 premiere!!! jalen brunson and KATSEYE!" The polished announcement sits just ahead, past half a million views in three days.
The Studio 8H theme ran through the rest. "Jalen Brunson Brings His Key To NYC To Unlock Studio 8H - SNL" drew a solid crowd, while its shorter companion, "studio 8H unlocked 🔓", stayed much quieter. The surprise is "they're professionals", the oldest upload of the week, still moving faster than the key video posted a day after it.
With 17.2 million subscribers, SNL sits third of nine among the late-night and talk channels, behind The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live and a step above The Daily Show.
