Dakota Johnson Hosts SNL on Birthday, Faints on Verity Set with Hartnett
Seth Meyers interviews Dakota Johnson ahead of her third time hosting Saturday Night Live on October 3, 2026, with musical guest Turnstile. Her birthday falls during the episode, turning it into an unplanned celebration. The segment promotes her new film Verity, a psychological thriller based on Colleen Hoover's novel, starring Johnson as Lowen, Anne Hathaway as Verity, and Josh Hartnett as Jeremy. A clip from the film is shown, and Johnson recounts fainting on set from a kidney infection. The conversation also covers her TeaTime book club now on Substack, aversion to writing a memoir, and filming Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" music video, including an underwater breath-holding scene.
