Know all about the host and the musical guest arriving on October 11 on SNL season 51 episode 2

Amy Poehler was a part of SNL’s journey from the start. Initially, she was a cast member from 2001 to 2008. According to the reports by NBC, SNL season 51 episode 2 will mark her third time as an individual host since her departure from the cast in season 34. She was even a ‘Weekend Update Anchor’ for almost four years and also began the Upright Citizens Brigade (a comedy group and training center) to encourage and support SNL’s new comedians.

With Amy, musical guest, Role Model will join her too, and it will be his first-ever performance at Studio 8H. Although Role Model is his stage name, his real name is Tucker Pillsbury. When Craig Melvin asked Role Model about his stage name when he made his appearance on Today, he said,

"That's a good question," he said. "You know what, I thought it was funny at the time that I chose it, and you don't think ahead that if it works out, you're stuck with that for life. So here we are on live TV as Role Model." 

Fans in this late-midnight comedy show will surely hear his most viral song ‘’Sally, When the Wine Runs Out," along with more comedy sketches, giggles and a hilarious take on current events.
