List of Saturday Night Live guests (Q–T)

None

Saturday Night Live (SNL) is an American late-night sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels. It premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the title NBC's Saturday Night. The show usually satirizes contemporary American popular culture and politics. SNL features a two-tiered cast: the repertory cast members, and newer cast members known as "Featured Players." A typical episode of SNL features a single host, who delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast. The format also features a musical guest, and a number of episodes have featured celebrity cameos.

George Carlin was the first to host the show. Candice Bergen was both the first female host in November 8, 1975, and the first to host a second time in December of the same year. On occasion the episode's host also serves as the musical guest; the first was Paul Simon on October 18, 1975. The most recent to pull double duty was Sabrina Carpenter on October 18, 2025. The Rolling Stones are the only band to ever serve as both host and musical guest during the same episode, which aired October 7, 1978. Guests who host five times become members of the Five-Timers Club, introduced on the December 8, 1990, episode, when Tom Hanks became the seventh person to host their fifth episode.

The list below shows the people who have appeared on the show. It is split into three sections: "Host", if the person hosted the show at any given time; "Musical guest", if a person was the musical guest on the show at any given time; and "Cameo", which is for a person who has appeared on the show but did not act as host or musical guest.
