Drake, of course, was widely believed to be one of the best guest hosts of Season 30, while Fred Armisen is, well, Fred freaking Armisen. 

This will be Drake's second time hosting and the former SNL cast member's first. 

Drake will act as the musical guest for his episode, while singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett will be the season's final musical guest. 

SNL's next new episode, airing May 7, will be hosted by Brie Larson with musical guest Alicia Keys.
