Ben Stiller and Anna Faris will each host "Saturday Night Live" next month, with musical guests Foster the People and Drake, NBC announced Monday.

Stiller, a cast member in 1989 who last hosted the show in October 1998, will make his sophomore hosting appearance for the show's Oct. 8 episode. His last "SNL" hosting gig included musical guest Alanis Morrisette. Foster the People, riding the success of their hit The "Pumped Up Kicks," are making their "SNL" debut.

Stiller's "SNL" spot comes a month before his next movie, the crime comedy "Tower Heist," which co-stars Matthew Broderick, Alan Alda and Stiller's fellow "SNL" alum, Eddie Murphy.

Faris, who previously hosted a 2008 episode with musical guest Duffy, will make her second "SNL" appearance on Oct. 15. Drake will be making his "SNL" debut. Faris' hosting gig coincides with the release of her Sept. 30 comedy "What's Your Number?"
