SNL to Honor Chadwick Boseman One Week After His Death with Rerun of His Hosted Episode

NBC will re-air Chadwick Boseman's Saturday Night Live episode in honor of the late actor who died on Aug. 28.

The episode from April 7, 2018, was Boseman's only time hosting the late-night show. His hosting duties took place two months after he starred in Black Panther and weeks before the release of Avengers: Infinity War.

During his appearance on the show, Boseman played his Black Panther character T'Challah during a sketch of Black Jeopardy! The hilarious clip has remained extremely popular, garnering over 24 million views to date.

Boseman died last Friday following a private years-long battle with colon cancer. He was 43.

One day after his death, SNL paid tribute by sharing a portrait of Boseman, which was originally taken for his episode. The image features the star in a vibrant colored jacket while riding on a black panther.
