Skip to main content Sombr, Nikki Glaser and Chloe Fineman in 'SNL' promos Trending on Billboard If you have questions about the unique spelling of sombr‘s stage name, this week’s Saturday Night Live promos are for you. The pop singer/songwriter is joined by host Nikki Glaser and cast member Chloe Fineman in the new promos, in which Fineman says, “sombr — it’s such a cool name.” “It is!” Glaser agrees. “It’s like if i called myself ‘Glasr.'” Sombr Is No. 1 on Hot 100 Songwriters Chart: ‘Songwriting Is Where It All Began for Me’ Sombr & Olivia Dean to Make ‘Saturday Night Live’ Debuts, With Glen Powell Set to Host for First Time Every Sketch From the Miles Teller-Hosted Episode of ‘SNL’ Ranked “What?” sombr replies. “You know, because it’s usually spelled S-O-M-B-E-R — you took the E out,” Glaser explains. “It is? I’ve been spelling it wrong this whole time and NOBODY TOLD ME?” the pop star explodes, even letting out a primal scream off camera. This has Glaser giving him a brand-new name: “More like ‘angr.'” Elsewhere in the promos, Fineman asks, “I’ve always wanted to know: Where does the name sombr come from?” The artist born Shane Michael Boose then says, “Well, my initials are S.M.B.” “Ohhh!” Glaser says, adding, “My initials are N.R.G. — like energy.” When she turns to Fineman to ask, “What are yours?,” the comedian simply responds, “Cherf” — her creative interpretation of C.R.F., for Chloe Rose Fineman. Both Glaser and sombr are making their Saturday Night Live debuts this weekend – Glaser as host and sombr as musical guest. sombr is having a breakout year, with his debut album, I Barely Know Her, arriving in August. The project spun off his first trio of Billboard Hot 100 appearances: the top 20 hits “Back to Friends” (No. 12) and “Undressed” (No. 16), as well as the No. 41-peaking “12 to 12.” Glaser is set to return as the host of the Golden Globes when the awards show is presented on Jan. 11. Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streams on Peacock. (See all the options to watch SNL here.)
