“Isaac’s Book” Plot: Sam struggles to keep Isaac’s spirits up after she hits a wall trying to publish a biography about him. Also, Trevor and Hetty conspire to keep their relationship hidden and Thor tries to prove to Flower that he can control his anger.
Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast – only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home.
The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor (isocky), to name a few.
The opening of the B&B is a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they’ll gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant – Samantha.
Travis Kelce isn’t going to Disneyland with Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes. Instead, the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end will head to New York to host NBC’s Saturday Night Live.
Apparently Travis Kelce, whose Chiefs pulled off a close Super Bowl win against his brother Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles, has wanted to try his hand at hosting SNL. In September 2022 he tweeted, “SNL?!? Would be a dream come true!” in response to cast member Heidi Gardner saying she’d like him or Mahomes to host.
Kelce will make his hosting debut with the March 4, 2023 episode. Kelsea Ballerini’s also making her SNL debut as musical guest. Ballerini just released her “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” EP and will be heading out on the North American leg of her “Heartfirst” tour on March 6th.
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega is also handling the hosting gig for the first time with the March 11th episode. Wednesday was recently renewed by Netflix for season two, and Ortega’s also got Scream VI opening in theaters on March 10th.
Ortega will be joined by The 1975 as musical guest, marking the band’s second time on the SNL stage. The 1975’s currently touring in support of their album Being Funny in a Foreign Language.
SNL previously announced Woody Harrelson will be hosting the February 25th episode with Jack White as musical guest. It will be Harrelson’s fifth time as host and White’s fourth solo appearance as musical guest.
And for those who missed it or just want to relive one of SNL‘s best skits in recent years, here’s Pedro Pascal struggling to stay in character during the “Lisa from Temecula” bit from the February 4th episode.
