Jack Antonoff brought his project Bleachers to Saturday Night Live last night (January 15). The band performed “How Dare You Want More” and “Chinatown” on the Saturday Night Live stage. Roddy Ricch—the originally scheduled performer—was replaced after a COVID-19 exposure. West Side Story’s Ariana DeBose hosted, and Freddie Gibbs stopped by for a musical sketch with Debose, Chris Redd, and Kenan Thompson about being broke at the club. 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.
