Quinta hosting SNL is going to be AMAZING! She's so naturally funny and charming. Can't wait to see what sketches they come up with for her. Benson Boone is a great musical choice too! 👏

Interesting choice with Benson Boone - he's got some bangers but I wonder how his energy will translate to the SNL stage. Quinta is perfect though, she's been killing it since her BuzzFeed days.

I love Quinta but I wish SNL would feature more up-and-coming comedians as hosts instead of always going for established names. The show needs fresh energy.

The musical guests this season have been 🔥! From Billie to Elton John to now Benson Boone - SNL's music booker deserves a raise. Quinta's gonna crush it too!

As an Abbott Elementary superfan, I'm so excited for this! Quinta has such great comedic timing - I hope they do some school-themed sketches.

Not familiar with Benson Boone's music but I'll definitely tune in for Quinta! She's one of the most talented multi-hyphenates in Hollywood right now. Writer, actor, producer - what can't she do?
