Jack Antonoff and his band replaced Roddy Ricch, who pulled out of the episode after a COVID-19 exposure
Jack Antonoff brought his solo project Bleachers to Saturday Night Live last night (January 15). The band performed “How Dare You Want More” and “Chinatown” on the SNL stage. Roddy Ricch—the originally scheduled performer—was replaced after a COVID-19 exposure. West Side Story’s Ariana Debose hosted. Check it out below.
Last year, Antoff joined a growing number of artists requiring audience members to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test at dates on his fall tour. In September, Antonoff was named artist-in-residence at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.
