'Saturday Night Live' Season 45 did not disappoint fans despite having a coronavirus pandemic interrupting their shooting. This season saw many guests like Eddie Murphy, Tom Hanks, Justin Bieber and others take the stage to host the show while also inviting singers like Halsey, Miley Cyrus, and others. 

The finale of the season ended with Alec Baldwin reprising his role as President Donald Trump. Over the years, Baldwin has got a lot of hate along with love for his role but his latest impression of Trump had people wondering if it would be the last time he will be taking on the role. 

He did not fail to point at some of the most-talked-about Trump moments like suggesting drinking cleaning solution to fight coronavirus. Meanwhile, the host for the finale was Kristen Wiig who made a return to the show to entertain fans. Wiig did an incredible job as she managed to keep the viewers excited and engaged throughout the episode. 

Meanwhile, the skits from the latest episode had people remembering why they always tuned into NBC to watch the show. The show also thanked all the mothers on the occasion of Mother's Day while applauding the frontline workers for all the hard work they had been putting in to fight coronavirus. 

The show ended with the weekend update by Colin Jost and Michael Che who pointed out things that happened throughout the week. Right from Grimes and Elon Musk naming their child X Æ A-12 to the murder of Ahmad Arbury, the show did not leave out any topic. 

Unfortunately, just like everything, even the show came to an end. With a home edition to the finale, the show promised that it would return in September 2020. Just like every other season, the upcoming Season 46 of the show is expected to air at the end of September or the beginning of October. 

While there isn't concrete evidence as to who would host the episodes, we can expect some of the old hosts to make a return like Eddie Murphy, Scarlett Johansson, and others. As for Baldwin bringing back the Trump impression, it seems like we will have to wait for a couple of months to get some answers.
