Saturday Night Live has rounded out its December hosting line-up: Joining Eddie Murphy on the schedule are hosting veterans (and Oscar hopefuls) Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson.
Lopez, who previously hosted in 2001 and 2010, will return to host on Dec. 7. And even though the Hustlers star once appeared as a musical guest (in 2000), she won’t be pulling double duty this time — instead, she’ll be joined by rapper DaBaby.
Meanwhile, Johansson, who’s promoting Netflix’s Marriage Story, will host the Dec. 14 episode. It will be her sixth time at Studio 8H, after hosting in 2006, 2007, 2010, 2015, and 2017. Former One Direction star Niall Horan will serve as the musical guest for the evening.
