'Saturday Night Live' has invited a handful of A-list stars to host the legendary sketch comedy show during its milestone 50th season. Ariana Grande, Jean Smart, Dave Chappelle, John Mulaney and former 'SNL' cast members Chris Rock and Martin Short are among the stars who've swung by Studio 8H to create comedy magic with the show's current cast.
In a fun twist, two of this season's hosts — singer Charli XCX and actor Timothée Chalamet — pulled double duty to also serve as their episode's musical guests. But what are the chances of that happening again in Season 50? Well, turns out, they're pretty good. Read on to learn who's hosting the March 8 episode. Is there a new episode of ‘SNL’ tonight? Yes! The March 8 episode will be a new, live show hosted by Lady Gaga. Gaga will also perform as the episode's musical guest. A double-duty 'SNL' episode seems especially fitting for Gaga, who's been nominated for four Oscars and 38 Grammys. Gaga also released her latest album, 'Mayhem,' on March 7. Ahead of the episode, the singer and actor gave viewers a glimpse of her creative “process” when she played piano and made up impromptu lyrics about the show’s embarrassed cast members in a hilarious promo. Dressed down in a ball cap and eyeglasses, Gaga noted that Andrew Dismukes ordered his breakfast sandwich at 2 p.m. and that Devon Walker was 'taking a big swing' by donning a new cowboy hat. Gaga then busted Heidi Gardner, who emerged from her office in jammies and an eye mask, for sleeping on the 'SNL' set. 'And the question is why?' Gaga sang, hitting a dazzling high note. 'And the answer is bed bugs,' Gardner sang back, which seemed to inspire the crescendo for Gaga's song. 'She has bedbugs!' Gaga belted out with passion.
