As the 46th season of the American talk show ‘Saturday Night Live’ is about to conclude, with just two remaining episodes, the creators have decided to feature ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ fame Anya-Taylor Joy and ‘Schmigadoon!’ star Keegan-Michael Key.

The May 15 episode, which will be the second last for the season, will feature Key and famous singer Olivia Rodrigo. Key’s debut appearance on Saturday Night Live is being looked at as a promotional initiative as his show ‘Schmigadoon!’ will be released on Apple TV in July this year.
