Joining Johansson for the finale is Bad Bunny, back for his third musical guest appearance.

Bad Bunny's latest album, "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS", has dominated the charts, making this a highly anticipated victory lap for the Grammy-winning artist.

The May 3 episode of "SNL" will be hosted by "Abbott Elementary" creator and star Quinta Brunson. Brunson, who is hosting for the second time, will be joined by musical guest Benson Boone, known for his hit song "Beautiful Things" and fresh from his Coachella debut.
