Look who's returning to Studio 8H!

On Thursday, NBC announced Saturday Night Live's hosts and musical guests for two more episodes of Season 45. Feb. 29, former writer and two-time host John Mulaney will appear alongside Talking Heads' musician David Byrne. Byrne recently collaborated with Mulaney for a segment called "Papier-mâché time with David Byrne" in Netflix's John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch.

On Mar. 7, No Time To Die star Daniel Craig will host for his second time with two-time musical guest The Weeknd, whose next studio album is expected later this year.

Mulaney's SNL appearance has required he reschedule an upcoming performance in Toronto (a sold-out show that has already been rescheduled multiple times) to April 10. Apologizing for the delay, the comedian tweeted the following letter from SNL creator Lorne Michaels:

My Fellow Canadians,

I hope you will forgive John Mulaney for having to reschedule his February 28th show in Toronto so that he can host Saturday Live that weekend.

I think considering the state of affairs that this country is in, the need for John is greater in New York right now.

John was fully prepared for Toronto and feels regret to have to postpone for a third time, but he was drafted by SNL. Yes, we still have the draft here.

He is simply doing his duty, and there is nothing more Canadian than that.

My apologies, Lorne Michaels

Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET.
