Miles Teller made his much-anticipated second appearance as host on Saturday Night Live, returning to the iconic 30 Rock stage in New York City. This comeback comes ahead of the November 26 release of his new romantic comedy and fantasy film, Eternity. Fans may recall his first SNL hosting stint coincided with the massive success of Top Gun: Maverick, heightening excitement for his return. The episode also features Brandi Carlile, marking her fourth time performing on the show.
Special Guest and Behind-the-Scenes Moments
Joining Teller is former SNL cast member Aristotle Athari, who recently starred in the French–Italian film The French Italian, now available for streaming on Apple and Amazon. Athari shared candid reflections on his filming experience, saying,
“I had a blast making it,”
and added,
“Honestly, I don’t know how we got through it because we were cracking up the entire time, mostly thanks to Ruby [McCollister] and Cat [Cohen]. I’m still shocked they managed to edit together a full movie with how many takes we ruined laughing.”
These remarks offer a glimpse into the fun and camaraderie behind the movie’s production.
Audience Energy and Expectations for Tonight’s Show
Reports from outside 30 Rock noted relatively short standby lines for this episode, causing some concern about the potential energy level of the live audience. Despite this, viewers and fans remain hopeful that the program will deliver engaging sketches and strong performances. The combination of Teller’s rising film profile and returning musical guest Brandi Carlile adds anticipation for memorable moments during the live broadcast.
Looking Ahead to the Evening’s Entertainment
Miles Teller’s SNL return highlights a busy period as he promotes new projects and reconnects with the live sketch comedy crowd. With the upcoming release of Eternity, this appearance serves to both delight longtime fans and introduce his evolving career to a wide television audience. As the show progresses, viewers can expect a mix of fresh material and familiar faces, continuing Saturday Night Live’s tradition of blending comedy with cultural relevance.
