Comedian and internet personality Druski is reportedly set to host Saturday Night Live on November 7, potentially becoming the first digital creator to lead an episode of the long-running NBC sketch comedy series.

According to Puck, Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, is expected to make his hosting debut on the programme.

NBC has not officially confirmed the reported appearance, and an SNL representative declined to comment, according to the report.

If confirmed, the booking would mark a milestone for digital creators seeking opportunities in traditional television and Hollywood.

Although Saturday Night Live has featured performers who built audiences through online platforms, the show has not previously selected someone primarily known for social media content to host an episode, according to the supplied report.

Druski has developed a following through viral comedy sketches, celebrity collaborations and his Coulda Been Records content.

His work has helped establish him as a recognised personality in online comedy, with his reported SNL appearance representing a potential expansion into mainstream television.

The programme has a history of drawing talent from different areas of comedy and entertainment. Andy Samberg and his comedy group, The Lonely Island, are among the performers associated with the show's connections to online comedy.

Druski's reported booking comes as digital creators continue to build careers across multiple entertainment platforms, including television, film and live performance.

However, until NBC confirms the appearance, the November 7 date and his status as host remain unconfirmed.
