Saturday Night Live's December hosting line up is here, and it's glorious.

The NBC sketch comedy series announced that musical superstar Billie Eilish will pull double duty on December 11, acting as both host and musical guest. Eilish joins a small but mighty clique of people who have performed both roles in one night, which recently includes Harry Styles, Halsey, and Chance the Rapper.

It's newly crowned Sexiest Man Alive Paul Rudd's turn the following week, where he'll be joined by musical guest Charli XCX. This marks Rudd's fifth time hosting SNL after stints in 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2019. Welcome to the Five-Timers Club!
