Bleachers step in to replace Roddy Ricch on SNL due to "recent COVID exposure"

Last night on socials, Roddy Ricch revealed he would no longer be performing on this week's Saturday Night Live "due to recent COVID exposure on my team."

Roddy Ricch added that he's "working with the SNL team to lock in a new date".

Following Roddy Ricch's announcement, SNL announced last night (12 January) that Bleachers would be stepping in as the musical guest for this week's show, making them the first musical guest of 2022 on SNL.

Bleachers wrote on Twitter, "the hardest attempt to date of taking the sadness out of saturday night."
