Jonathan Majors and Simu Liu will make their hosting debuts on Saturday Night Live as the NBC variety series returns for three consecutive shows in November.
Taylor Swift and Saweetie have been set as the respective musical guests.
Lovecraft Country star Majors, whose Netflix film The Harder They Fall launches Wednesday, will host the series on November 13 with Swift as musical guest. It marks the pop star’s fifth appearance as a musical guest and will come a day after her re-recorded album Red comes out.
Liu, star of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, will host November 20. He will be joined by Saweetie, who is making her musical debut on the show ahead of her debut album, Pretty Bitch Music, which comes out next year.
The November 13 and 20 shows will follow the November 6 appearance of Succession star Kieran Culkin and musical guest Ed Sheeran, who revealed earlier today that he will be appearing on the show, despite recently contracting Covid.

Saturday Night Live is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
Don’t sweat it; super-easy to catch up. All you have to do is keep track of male celebrities because — whether actors, sports stars, or “billionaires” — they instantly get shortlisted to guest host; pay female celebrities no mind, since the show won’t even longlist them to guest host.
The guy who chewed up the scenery in Loki and the star of Kim’s Convenience? What’s happening?
Yeah, they were headlining in recent big projects, are you not able to see them because they’re not white?
How delightful to try to make this about race. The point is that they’re relatively low on the fame scale. There are hundreds and hundreds of POC I’d put on before these two. Randall Park! Keke Palmer! Jordan Peele!
Yeah your fame scale is upside down… none of those people are starring in a billion $ franchise like Liu and Majors… shove your delight up your butt and spit out some better castings next time before you attack
Yikes. I came to terms many many years ago with not knowing who some musical guests were but last year it finally happened with guest hosts. Neither of these names ring a bell for me.
