From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Key, who co-created the sketch series Key & Peele with Jordan Peele, will make his hosting debut on 15 May.

The Queen’s Gambit star will follow on 22 May.

Each of the upcoming hosts will be accompanied by a high-profile guest: “Drivers License” singer Olivia Rodrigo will be featured on 15 May, and Lil Nas X will appear on 22 May.

The rapper has said he will play “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” as well as a new song during his set.

Both Key and Taylor-Joy will follow up on Elon Musk, who is set to host on 8 May with Miley Cyrus as a musical guest.

The official Twitter account for Saturday Night Live confirmed on Monday that they will be the final two hosts wrapping up the ongoing season.
