1) Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. Back in 2020, “SNL” was trying to bounce back after a Covid-hampered season.

The music guest is Mk.gee.
2) “Yellowstone,” Paramount Network. After a 22-month pause, this is almost ready for its final six episodes. That starts Sunday, but first we can catch up.
