Sandra Oh is going to host 'Saturday Night Live' with Tame Impala
Whatever people might think of Saturday Night Live these days, it's still a badge of honor for celebrities to host an episode of America's most popular sketch comedy show.
On March 30, Killing Eve's Sandra Oh will become the third Asian-American woman to host the show, after rapper/actor Awkwafina and actor Lucy Liu.
Oh's most recent gig is her SAG and Golden Globe–winning performance as Eve Polastri on Killing Eve, but she's long been a part of the TV landscape with acclaimed roles in Grey's Anatomy (for which she won another Screen Actor's Guild and Golden Globe Award) and HBO's Arliss.
The musical guest on the March 30 episode will be Tame Impala, which marks the first appearance on the show for the Australian rock band. The band scooped up two consecutive Rolling Stone's Album of the Year awards in 2011 and 2012 and will also headline Coachella later in 2019.
Update 3/11 3:26 pm: This article has been corrected to note that Oh will be the third Asian American woman to host Saturday Night Live, not the second.
