Saturday Night Live returns for its 45th season on September 28, and this year’s hosts have been announced. The Hollywood Reporter has a continually updated guide to the upcoming season, which will feature Eddie Murphy taking the stage as host for the first time since 1984.
The comedian will host the show on December 21, alongside an as-yet unannounced musical guest. Murphy last appeared on the show in 2015, for SNL‘s 40th-anniversary special.
Other guests this season include Woody Harrelson, who will host the season premiere on Sept. 28 alongside Billy Eilish. Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Stranger Things‘ David Harbour and Kristen Stewart are also slated to host. Taylor Swift and Camilla Cabello will appear as musical guests early this season.
According to THR, the show’s full cast is expected to return for the 2019-20 season. The long-running sketch comedy series is up for 18 Emmys in 2019, including outstanding variety sketch series as well as a handful of nominations for cast members and hosts, including Kate McKinnon, Matt Damon, John Mulaney, Sandra Oh, Adam Sandler and Emma Thompson, as well as Robert De Niro, who made an appearance in Oh’s episode as Robert Mueller.
The show wrapped up its 44th season in May with a finale hosted by Paul Rudd with musical guest DJ Khaled.
