Missed last night's show? Here's how to watch Elon Musk on SNL, plus musical guest Miley Cyrus
Elon Musk's guest hosting slot on SNL aired last night (May 8) on NBC. You can watch it on catch up via Peacock in the U.S. or view clips on the NBC website. It will air in the U.K. at 9 p.m. today (May 9) on Sky Comedy.
If you missed last night's show and are wondering how to watch Elon Musk on SNL, then we've got good news for you — you can watch it on catch-up instead.
The Tesla maestro's appearance on Saturday Night Live was a must-watch experience for several reasons. For starters, Musk was joined onstage by his mother Maye, who joked that she hoped she wasn't getting Dogecoin for Mother's Day.

Dogecoin, one of Musk's favorite topics, also featured in a nice Weekend Update skit, duelling with Michael Che about what exactly the cryptocurrency is. "So it's a hustle?" Che said at one point — to which Musk replied that "Yeah, it's a hustle." Dogecoin has subsequently dropped by more than 30% in value, although it's still one of the top cryptocurrency performers right now.
Musk also revealed in his opening monologue that he has Asperger's syndrome, and dressed up as Wario and a cowboy for other sketches. The show's musical guest, meanwhile, was Miley Cyrus, who performed Without You with The Kid LAROI.
Sure, it was a mixed bag overall, with some jokes falling flat on the famed stage at Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, but it definitely contained plenty of talking points.
Sounds good, right? Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can enjoy Musk's guest spot after the fact. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Elon Musk on SNL, wherever you are in the world.
