NEW YORK (AP) — Mikey Madison, Jack Black and Jon Hamm are next up to host “Saturday Night Live” as the show hits the final stretch of its 50th season.

Less than a month after winning the best actress Oscar for “Anora,” Madison is set to make her “SNL” hosting debut on March 29, with musical guest Morgan Wallen.

Black has signed on to host for the fourth time on April 5, a day after the release of his newest film, “A Minecraft Movie.”

Elton John and Brandi Carlile are set to duet as musical guests the day after the drop of their album collaboration “Who Believes in Angels?” It features their Oscar-nominated song “Never Too Late.”

Hamm has also agreed to become a four-time host on April 12, the day after the debut of his Apple TV+ show “Your Friends and Neighbors.” And Lizzo will be a four-time musical guest as she promotes her forthcoming album, “Love in Real Life.”

“SNL” has been basking in the spotlight all season. Its 50th anniversary celebration last month became NBC’s most-watched prime-time entertainment telecast in five years, reaching nearly 15 million viewers.

A Winnipeg city councillor who faces sexual assault charges says he is running for re-election.

A day before Tuesday’s deadline, Russ Wyatt registered to run in the Transcona ward where he has served five terms and to which he was first elected in 2002.

“After much reflection, I have decided to stand for re-election in the Winnipeg municipal election,” Wyatt said in a statement Monday.

“Time and time again, I have stood up to the powers that be, and they would love to get rid of me. But I see the mess this city is in today, with the disastrous new bus routes, ever rising water bills, developer largesse, and poverty in our streets,” he said.

AC/DC leaves Winnipeg crowd thunderstruck

Rob Williams 5 minute read Yesterday at 12:11 AM CDT

AC/DC proved once again that rock ‘n’ roll ain’t noise pollution.

A rowdy stadium of about 35,000 people at Princess Auto Stadium couldn’t agree more as the Australian rock legends made their first trip to the city since 2015 on their PWR/UP tour, cranking out two hours and 20 minutes of raw and raunchy high-voltage material, a mix of blues, crunchy power chords, melodic riffs and double entendres that spanned five decades.

Their wide-ranging appeal was apparent in the demographic makeup of the crowd, which ranged from young children to seniors, many clad in $30 glowing devil horns from the well-stocked merch booth that also offered posters, banners, beer koozies, lanyards, tour books and T-shirts.

There is no one in music quite like guitar god Angus Young. He is 71, but onstage he is ageless, a hyperactive teenager dressed in his signature blue schoolboy uniform and yellow and blue cap, running around, duck-walking and leaping in the air while cranking out riff after riff and extended solos on his trusty black Gibson SG.

Power outages expected as giant tanks moved

1 minute read Yesterday at 5:18 PM CDT

Manitoba Hydro customers in some communities may be temporarily without power while eight giant storage tanks are transported across Manitoba by truck between Tuesday and Thursday.

Outages may affect areas primarily along highways 23 and 59, Hydro said.

Crews will either lift or temporarily disconnect power lines at about 220 locations along the roughly 430-kilometre route from the Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary and the Tolstoi border crossing into Minnesota. Each outage is expected to last about 1 ½ hours.

Hydro said the empty storage tanks, manufactured in Alberta, are being moved so they can be shipped overseas. Each tank is about the height of a two-storey building.

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read Friday, Sep. 18, 2026

Looking for someone to blame in the Connor Hellebuyck fiasco and cast as public enemy No. 1? How about long-time Winnipeg Jets nemesis Nathan MacKinnon?

Allow us to explain as we fire up the time machine and head back to February in Italy.

Oh, what could have been if MacKinnon had been able to score on what appeared to be an open net late in the third period of the men’s gold medal game with Hellebuyck down and seemingly out of position.

Instead, the star forward fired wide, keeping the score deadlocked at 1-1 as the clock ticked down on regulation.
