Saturday Night Live: Sydney Sweeney, Josh Brolin to Host

Sydney Sweeney and Josh Brolin are SNL's next two hosts.

By Adam Barnhardt

Ahead of this weekend's Saturday Night Live return, the live sketch comedy has lined up its next batch of hosts. After Shane Gillis' hosting debut this weekend, Madame Web star Sydney Sweeney will be taking the stage at Studio 8H in her debut on the March 2nd edition. Josh Brolin will then return to 30 Rock for his third hosting stint the week after, hosting Saturday Night Love on March 9th.

During Sweeney's episode (March 2nd), she'll be joined by country musician Kacey Musgraves, who'll be making her third appearance on the show at the time. Ariana Grande will then appear alongside Brolin during her third appearance as well, second as musical guest and third overall. Grande served as both host and musical guest during a Season 41 episode on March 12, 2016.

Brolin's episode on March 9th will be the last before a two-week hiatus. The show will then return with more new episodes on March 30th for three more new episodes. It's unclear how many episodes NBC hopes to air of the comedy this season.
