Tina Fey is coming home to host Saturday Night Live May 19. She'll be joined by musical guest Nicki Minaj in the show's traditional spring lineup of heavy-hitters.

SNL already separately announced May 5 host Donald Glover (with musical guest Childish Gambino – who'da thunk?). On Wednesday the show also revealed Amy Schumer with Kacey Musgraves on May 12, and Fey and Minaj on May 19.

Fey spent six years as an SNL cast member (and three more as a writer) until 2006 before premiering 30 Rock on NBC (a show largely inspired by her experiences at SNL). This is her sixth time hosting, and now she's a Broadway personality with the Mean Girls musical. Since Fey lives and works in New York, she's also made numerous SNL cameos, including as recently as Natalie Portman's Feb. 3 episode.

Schumer will return for a second time as host (the last was in 2015 following the success of Trainwreck) while promoting her upcoming film I Feel Pretty.
