Walton Goggins to Host SNL Amid Skit Controversy

Walton Goggins is set to host Saturday Night Live on May 10 with musical guest Arcade Fire, as part of the show's milestone 50th season. His appearance comes after controversy over a recent SNL skit titled 'White POTUS,' which parodied his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood, leading her to call the sketch 'cruel' and 'unfunny.' Despite speculation of a feud, sources confirm Goggins was selected as host before the skit aired. Goggins' hosting announcement has drawn praise given his recent acclaimed roles in Fallout and The White Lotus. Scarlett Johansson is scheduled to host the season finale on May 17. This season has featured a star-studded lineup, highlighting SNL's cultural impact as it marks its 50th anniversary.
