“Saturday Night Live” will return for its 39th season on Saturday, Sept. 28 – and we’ve got our hands on the first three hosts and musical performances. So, who will be kicking off the new season of NBC’s long running comedy sketchy show?
“Saturday Night Live” alum and Golden Globe winner Tina Fey!
Fey will host the season 39 premiere on Sept. 28, making this her fourth time as a host on “SNL.” She’ll be joined on stage by Grammy winning band Arcade Fire, who will also be making their fourth appearance performing as a musical guest on the show. The band will likely be performing music from their upcoming album, which is set to be released on Oct. 29. Coincidentally their “SNL” musical guest announcement was made on the same day that their new single, “Reflektor,” was set to be released.
Miley Cyrus will be pulling double duty as a host and musical guest the following week on Oct. 5. Her appearance will come three days before her new album, “Bangerz,” is released on Oct. 8. The second “SNL” show for season 39 will mark Miley’s first TV performance since her buzzed about (and controversial) performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 25.
Bruce Willis will take over hosting duties on “SNL” for the second time on Oct. 12. He’ll be joined on the show by musical guest Katy Perry, who will also be making her second appearance. Parry will be performing songs from her upcoming album, “Prism.”
The host and musical guest announcement comes on the heels of rumors regarding Lady Gaga returning pull double duty as a host and performer. TV Line reports that Mother Monster will be making her third appearance on “SNL” this fall as she promotes her Nov. 11 album, “ARTPOP.” Her appearance on the show has not been confirmed by an NBC rep, who told TV Line at the time that the fall lineup for “Saturday Night Live” is still being finalized.
Watch “Saturday Night Live” when it premieres on Saturday, Sept. 28.
