It's a good time to be Adam Driver. His new movie -- maybe you've heard of it? -- is on track to earn $250 million this weekend alone; the fifth season of his critically acclaimed HBO series, Girls, is premiering in February; and just moments ago, NBC announced that he'll be hosting 2016's first episode of Saturday Night Live.

The musical guest for Driver's episode on Jan. 16 hasn't yet been revealed -- but maybe Marnie Michaels is available?
