Kristen Wiig returns with a bang as host Saturday night live this weekend (April 6) for a milestone fifth time, and in a new promo released Wednesday (April 3), the former cast member visits her former dressing room.

Going back to your childhood bedroom — or, in my case, the dressing room,” the comedian says as she walks the halls of Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in the minute-long clip. “Lorne [Michaels] they promised that they would always leave it as I left it.'
However, as she prepared to see her old costumes from SNL In recent years, he enters the dressing room to find it has been taken over by new cast members Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker, who have essentially turned the space into a dormitory full of snacks, video games and clutter.
“Do you like what we did with the place?” Walker asks after Longfellow accidentally calls Wiig “Kristine” after the actress sees her old stuff in a box on the table. “It's great,” Wiig replies, before musing, “It's going to be a big week. Mommy's back, baby.”
The previous SNL cast member's new series Palm Royale — which she stars in and executive produces — premieres March 20 on AppleTV+.
