'Guardians of the Galaxy' Star Chris Pratt Hosting 'Saturday Night Live' NBC Season 40 Premiere with Musical Guest Ariana Grande September 2014, Watch Their Funny Promo Teaser Here (VIDEO)
"Saturday Night Live" released a new short promo with Season 40 host and musical guest, Chris Pratt and Ariana Grande. You can check it out above. Do you think it will be a funny episode?
NBC announced earlier this month that Guardians of the Galaxy movie star Chris Pratt will host and the musical guest will be Ariana Grande for the premiere on September 27th on NBC.
Guardians of the Galaxy has been the smash hit off the summer and weeks after its release is still on top of the box office. The Marvel movie became the highest grossing film of 2014 after four weeks at the box office bringing in $262.1 million to top previous best of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Grande has been riding high on the charts lately. She currently has the songs "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea, "Break Free," alongside Zedd, and "Bang Bang," with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J on the radio airwaves and charts. Now, the pop princess is gearing up to release her next surefire hit, "Be My Baby."
Grande released her sophomore album, My Everything, last month on August 25. She has been compared by many as the next Mariah Carey and much of her music even resembles the pop/r&b sounds of the 90's.
Grande won 'Best New Artist of the Year' at the American Music Awards 2013 and her debut album Yours Truly has opened to huge success releasing the singles "The Way," "Baby, I," and "Right There". The album went to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 charts.
NBC's long-running live comedy show has a low season last year in ratings and entertainment value. With the underwhelming seasons, the cast has also seen many key members leave the past few seasons including Kristen Wiig and Nasim Pedrad.
For "SNL" second episode on October 4th, they have tapped comedian-actress (and former SNL cast member) Sarah Silverman to make her hosting debut, with Maroon 5 making their fifth overall appearance as musical guest. Silverman's latest comedy album, We Are Miracles (taken from her Emmy-winning HBO stand-up special) will hit shelves on September 23rd; Maroon 5 released their fifth LP, V, earlier this month.
The season will be the first in decades without the well known voice of announcer Don Pardo, who died last month at age 96. He was hired for SNL in 1975. Pardo's signature vocal delivery was a staple on the series for 38 seasons.
