Cher last appeared as the musical guest on “SNL” just ahead of Thanksgiving 1987, 38 years ago. In the time since, she has returned to “SNL” in a cameo capacity on multiple occasions, most recently in 2011.

While she hasn't performed on the show in almost four decades, she has made cameo appearances over the years. Cher appeared on the show again in 1992, as well as earlier this year, for the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special in February. Many celebrities and cast members have also impersonated the singer on Saturday Night Live.

The Dancing with the Stars host stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday (Nov. 19) where she opened up her first big screen experience on the set of Burlesque. Looking back on the 2010 film, Hough shared a special moment from filming with Cher.

Cher and Edwards have proved that neither one of them are set to be singing a song for the lonely anytime soon. In April, the “Strong Enough” singer’s rep shut down speculation that the couple called time on their romance, after Edwards was spotted at Coachella solo.

While boasting an impressive decades long presence in the charts, Cher was able unleash a defining global smash after years in the business.

Christmas is coming, folks, and it seems as though Santa came early! Yesterday, Saturday Night Live announced that on December 20, 2025, Ariana Grande will be hosting the show alongside musical guest Cher.

Cher channeled her pop star persona in a look by Giuseppe Di Morabito. The look was comprised of an elongated black coat with shimmering embellishments throughout. The "Believe" singer wore a corset-inspired bodice in black and sheer with botanical lace detailing and exposed boning. Cher's look was curated by stylist Patti Wilson.

Cher paired a double-breasted Balmain blazer featuring padded shoulders with baggy, barrel-leg trousers—the ultra-wide-leg style is having a major moment, with stars including Anne Hathaway and Mariska Hargitay trying out the pant trend in recent months.
