Who Is Hosting SNL Tonight?
Yes, SNL is all new and live this week.
Brie Larson is hosting Saturday Night Live Tonight. The multihyphenate, multitalented 26 year old has had a string of supporting roles in popular movies, and became a household name after starring in the Academy Award winning film Room in 2015. She’s also written and directed two short films, and prior to receiving acclaim for her acting skills, had a fledgling music career. If you don’t know her from Room, you’ve probably seen her in 13 Going on 30, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Greenberg or 21 Jump Street, and if none of those performances ring a bell, now you’ll have Saturday Night Live host to put a face with her name.
This is Larson’s first time hosting SNL, and her first appearance on the show. Alicia Keys is this weeks musical guest. Keys appeared in an SNL digital short called Booty Call in 2010 with Andy Samberg, Kristin Wiig, Bobby Moynihan, Jenny Slate and Abby Elliott.
