Saturday Night Live is returning from the hiatus on March 27 with Maya Rudolph taking over as a presenter for the second time and musical guest Jack Harlow joining her on SNL debut. But it looks like after that, Studio 8H will be able to warm up only with the heat of this year’s Oscar race.
The program announced today that Daniel Kaluuya will host the program on April 3, having just received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah. He will be joined by St. Vincent, making his second appearance on the show as a musical guest. The following week, on April 10, Carey Mulligan will take over, after his role in Promising young woman earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Kid Cudi will join her as a musical guest for the first time. Although Kaluuya and Mulligan have been nominated for an Oscar before, they have never performed the oldest live skit show in America before. Is this your gold ticket to finally grab a gold statue? In that case, it would be very useful to get Amy Adams back there.
