The late-night sketch series has enlisted stand-up comedian Jerrod Carmichael (The Carmichael Show) to lord over Studio 8H on April 2 — one night after the debut of his third HBO comedy special, Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel. He’ll be joined by musical guest (and fellow first-timer) Gunna.
Then on April 9, second-time host Jake Gyllenhaal (Ambulance) will serve as master of ceremonies; Camila Cabello will make her second appearance as musical guest.
Last but not least, on April 16, is Lizzo, who will pull double duty as host and musical guest. (Lizzo first appeared as musical guest during Eddie Murphy’s December 2019 homecoming.)
Thus far, SNL‘s Season 47 hosts have included Owen Wilson (Loki), Kim Kardashian West, Rami Malek (No Time to Die), Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Kieran Culkin (Succession), Jonathan Majors (The Harder They Fall), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Billie Eilish, Rudd, Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Will Forte (MacGruber), Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man: No Way Home), John Mulaney, Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight) and Zoë Kravitz (The Batman).

Lizzo!!!
I know!! Exciting!!
The ads on this site are out of control lol.
Never heard of Gunna. I’m so out of touch with today’s music. But I’m fine with that.
you know Jerrod Carmichael was a cast member of SNL, right?
No, no he has not.
No, he hasn’t. I’m sure he auditioned before, but he’s never been a cast member.
wrong
The cancellation of The Carmichael Show was a travesty. Excited to see how Lizzo does (I’m sure she’ll be great)!
I concur on both statements! The Carmichael Show was brilliant!
How is this only Jake’s 2nd time hosting?!
