Jalen Brunson Hosts SNL After NBA Title | New York Knicks News

Jalen Brunson, the Knicks’ Finals MVP who led them to their first championship in 53 years, is making his SNL hosting debut on September 26 — a major milestone for the star who’s already conquered the hardwood. After averaging over 32 points in the Finals and winning MVP, Brunson’s now stepping into comedy, with a stacked SNL season ahead featuring Dakota Johnson, Shane Gillis, and Inde Navarette. His WWE experience adds to the buzz, while Mariska Hargitay’s confirmation he’ll appear on Law & Order: SVU hints at a broader entertainment future. This hosting gig is his ultimate victory lap before the Knicks’ preseason kicks off October 5 and their regular season opener against the Sixers on October 20 — a celebration of triumph for the city. From NBA champion to SNL host, Brunson is living the dream — one laugh at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
