“Saturday Night Live” has announced the next several hosts and musical guests for season 51.
After a two-week break — there won’t be new episodes of “SNL” on Saturday, Nov. 22, or Saturday, Nov. 29 — Melissa McCarthy is set to host on Saturday, Dec. 6, with musical guest Dijon.
Josh O’Connor will helm the Dec. 13 episode with musical guest Lily Allen, and Ariana Grande will host the final episode of the year on Dec. 20 with musical guest Cher.
McCarthy is already a member of the “SNL” five-timers club. She previously hosted in October 2011, April 2013, February 2014, February 2016, and May 2017. Dijon, whose second album, “Baby,” dropped in August, will make his “SNL” debut during the Dec. 6. Episode.
O’Connor, whose notable credits include the films “Challengers” and “Emma,” is also gearing up for his “SNL” debut. Fresh off the release of her album “West End Girl,” Allen will be making her second “SNL” appearance. She previously served as the musical guest back in February 2007.
As both an actress and a singer, Grande is no stranger to “SNL.” She hosted in October 2024, served as the musical guest in September 2014 and March 2024, and did double duty in March 2016. Cher will make her second appearance as musical guest; she previously performed on the show 38 years ago, in November 1987.
Fans are hoping for a duet between Grande and Cher.
“Need ariana to sing with cher tbh,” one person wrote via X.
