Kristen Wiig is set to return to “Saturday Night Live” as host later this month. The stint will mark the “SNL” alum’s second turn since leaving the show after seven seasons.
The xx will make their musical guest debut on Wiig’s Nov. 19 episode. The group’s third album, “I See You,” will be released on Jan. 13.
Wiig first hosted her old haunt on May 11, 2013, which was Season 38 Episode 20. Her musical guest at that time was Vampire Weekend.
“SNL” is being quite cagey about how long Alec Baldwin will continue to play Donald Trump, now that the president-elect shocked the world with his Tuesday win. “Saturday Night Live” won’t even comment on Baldwin’s participation (or lack thereof) this weekend, though it would be a major blow if the sketch comedy show had to switch gears for an acceptance speech skit.
Dave Chappelle will host this Saturday’s show (Nov. 12) with musical guest A Tribe Called Quest.
“Saturday Night Live” is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
Here's Every Time Alec Baldwin Was Donald Trump on SNL This Season (Videos)
"SNL" held off on starting its 42nd season until the first presidential debate aired, and it turned out to be the right move. Baldwin replaced Darrell Hammond as the man to play Trump, and his act quickly went viral.
A week later, Baldwin did the first of several encore performances, starting with a sketch in which he responded to the tapes of Trump's infamous comments to Billy Bush.
Baldwin then got a chance to be a bit more physical when he and McKinnon parodied the Town Hall debate, which featured a cameo from Bobby Moynihan as Ken Bone.
In that same episode, Baldwin also had an appearance in a digital short parodying Beyonce's "Lemonade," in which Trump's ladies strike back after all his antics.
Then Baldwin and McKinnon did one more debate parody, which featured Tom Hanks as Fox News anchor/debate moderator Chris Wallace.
In the final "SNL" episode before Nov. 8, Baldwin finally broke character and ran out with McKinnon to detox from the ugliness of the campaign with the help of some fellow Americans in Times Square.
But while Baldwin's run has been widely hailed, there's one guy who didn't like it: his own brother and avid Trump supporter, Stephen Baldwin. Here's what he had to say about Alec's bit after the final debate in Las Vegas.
