Fresh off her triumphant Oscar win, Mikey Madison is stepping into the world of live comedy. The "Anora" star, who took home her first Academy Award last month for Best Actress, is set to make her "Saturday Night Live" hosting debut on March 29. The long-running sketch show made the exciting announcement on Wednesday, adding yet another milestone to Madison's already stellar year.
Joining Madison on the episode will be country star Morgan Wallen, marking his second appearance as the show's musical guest. With his signature Southern charm and record-breaking hits, Wallen's return to the Studio 8H stage is expected to be a highlight of the night.
"SNL" also revealed more high-profile hosts for its upcoming episodes, keeping the momentum of its 50th-anniversary season in full swing. On April 5, Jack Black will return for his fourth time as host, bringing his signature energy and comedic flair. Fans of the legendary actor can also look forward to a special musical lineup, as Elton John and Brandi Carlile will take the stage together following the release of their collaborative album "Who Believes in Angels?"—a project that has already earned critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination for its song "Never Too Late."
As if that weren't enough star power, Jon Hamm will take over hosting duties on April 12, ahead of the premiere of his new Apple TV+ series "Your Friends and Neighbors." Hamm, known for his charisma and impeccable comedic timing, will be joined by Lizzo, making her fourth appearance as the musical guest.
"SNL" has been going all out for its golden anniversary, celebrating five decades of legendary sketches, cultural impact, and unforgettable moments. In addition to the "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" that aired last month, fans can relive the magic through various documentaries and specials, including "Beyond Saturday Night" and Questlove's music-focused project, "Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music," all available to stream on Peacock.
With a star-studded lineup and a milestone season in full swing, "SNL" continues to prove why it remains a comedy institution.
