Brandi Carlile Set to Host ‘SNL’ as Miles Teller Faces Off

Brandi Carlile is confirmed to host the upcoming episode of **Saturday Night Live** (SNL), stepping in as a surprise presence alongside actor **Miles Teller**. The news emerged from promotional clips for the episode, which air on November 4, 2023. Carlile, an eleven-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, will also perform during the show, promoting her latest solo album, **Returning to Myself**.

In the promotional segment, Ashley Padilla, who is a guest on the show, confronts Teller about his lack of acknowledgment regarding her new haircut. “I got a haircut, and you haven’t said anything about it!” she exclaims. Teller’s response, “Yeah, sorry, I think I didn’t notice, Ashley, because we’ve never met before,” adds a humorous twist to the interaction.

Carlile quickly interjects, noting, “I noticed. The second I saw you, I knew you had that new-haircut glow.” Padilla humorously declares Carlile the new host, to which the singer responds enthusiastically. Teller’s confusion about the situation prompts Padilla to assure him that she is indeed serious. “I hope you can sing,” she playfully threatens, to which Teller nonchalantly replies, “I can sing.” This claim is bolstered by a past appearance where country star **Keith Urban** invited Teller on stage to perform during a concert in **Albuquerque, New Mexico**, in 2016.

Brandi Carlile’s appearance on **SNL** marks her fourth time as a musical guest and second in 2023, having previously shared the stage with **Elton John** in April to promote their collaborative album, **Who Believes in Angels?** Teller, making his second hosting appearance following his debut in 2022, is gearing up for the release of his upcoming sci-fi romantic comedy, **Eternity**, which co-stars **Elizabeth Olsen** and **Callum Turner**, set to premiere on **November 26, 2023**.

**Saturday Night Live** airs at **11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT** on **NBC** and will be available for streaming on **Peacock**. This episode promises to bring a blend of humor and music, showcasing the talents of both Carlile and Teller in a lively environment.
