Brie Larson and Alicia Keys are set to be the guest host and musical performer on Saturday Night Live's 41st season finale. Larson, who rose to fame after her role in the indie hit "Room," is expected to bring her comedic chops to the SNL stage. Keys, an R&B and soul singer, is slated to perform several songs from her latest album "Here".

The episode kicks off with a cold open that skewers the current political climate, with Alec Baldwin reprising his role as Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton. The sketch touches on recent controversies surrounding Trump's campaign, including his comments on women and his ongoing feud with the media.

In Larson's monologue, she talks about her recent success and jokes about being an "overnight sensation" despite having been in the industry for over a decade. She also pokes fun at the fact that she's never done comedy before, which sets the tone for the rest of the show.

One of the standout sketches of the night is a pre-taped parody of "The Bachelor", with Larson playing a contestant vying for the affections of a man with an unconventional profession - he's a NASA astronaut. The sketch is filled with hilarious quips and one-liners, as Larson's character tries to outdo her fellow contestants with her fake interest in space.

Another fan-favorite sketch is a musical parody of "Grease", with Larson and the SNL cast reimagining the classic movie as a commentary on the double standards women face in society. Larson and musical guest Alicia Keys perform several songs throughout the sketch, including a powerful ballad about the struggles of being a woman in a male-dominated world.

In addition to the sketches, the episode also features several recurring characters and impressions, including "Weekend Update" with hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che, and McKinnon's hilarious impression of Kellyanne Conway.

The episode wraps up with a touching farewell to several cast members who are leaving the show, including Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah. The cast and crew gather on stage to say goodbye and share a few laughs before the credits roll.

Overall, Brie Larson and Alicia Keys bring their A-game to the season finale of Saturday Night Live's 41st season. With plenty of laughs and a few heartfelt moments, the episode is a fitting end to a memorable season.
