The Strokes join SNL's Five-Timers Club on the show's biggest night in two years

The Strokes' return to Saturday Night Live landed the show its biggest audience in two years. The November 11 episode, hosted by Druski, the show's first-ever booking of a content creator as host, drew 5.6 million viewers. It also pulled the show's highest rating among adults 18-34 in more than four years, and NBC says it was the most-watched SNL episode ever on Peacock.

The band played "Lonely in the Future" and "Going Shopping," and became the latest act inducted into the Five-Timers Club, with Walton Goggins on hand for it. Nick Valensi did not play the appearance. Otherwise the night went wide: Druski spoofed You Can See Everything, Senator-elect James Talarico turned up in the cold open, and Jeremy Culhane rolled out a new Elon Musk impression.

The night belonged to the show's ratings more than to the band's own news. No new Strokes release or tour is announced alongside the episode.
