'Saturday Night Live' Adds Awkwafina, Seth Meyers to Hosting Lineup
"Saturday Night Live" wants some of that "Crazy Rich Asians" action.
NBC's late night sketch comedy show announced that breakout Awkwafina (who also starred in this summer's "Ocean's 8") will make her "SNL" hosting debut in the October 6 episode with musical guest Travis Scott.
"Weekend Update" alum and "Late Night" host Seth Meyers will return to Studio 8H to host the Oct. 13 episode with musical guest Paul Simon, who celebrates his 77th birthday that night. This will mark Simon's 15th appearance on the show. He recently released his 14th studio album, “In the Blue Light," which revisits 10 of his personal favorites from his body of work. Simon also recently concluded what he says will be his last tour.
Awkwafina and Meyers join already-announced season premiere host Adam Driver and musical guest Kanye West on September 29.
