Saturday Night Live is really working the double-duty hosts/musical guests this season. Megan Thee Stallion just appeared as both last night (Oct. 15) and the show announced that Jack Harlow will be the next in line to host and perform on its Oct. 29 episode. It will be the first time Harlow hosts the late-night sketch show. Last year, he made his first appearance as the musical guest on the Maya Rudolph-hosted episode. Harlow has been cutting his hosting chops as of late, recently appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in which they split duties at the desk. In the episode, which aired on Oct. 6, Harlow helped Fallon with his monologue and interviewed guest Dwayne Wade. Ironically, Harlow followed Megan Thee Stallion in that role too. In addition to Megan Thee Stallion,...

The rapper delivered on that promise last night with a 90-minute performance that showed she can command a stage as much for her comedic side as her music. Megan Thee Stallion began her duties with the host monologue, in which she tried out a British accent (in a bid to get cast on Bridgerton) and talked about the demands of earning her college degree in health administration from Texas Southern University last year while continuing her rap career. The rapper joked one of her new nicknames is now “Megan the Bitch That Needs Some Sleep,” and promoted her mental health resource website badbitcheshavebaddaystoo.com (yes, it’s real). Other skit...

Saturday Night Live kicks off its 48th season on Oct. 1. Today, the sketch comedy show announced its first three hosts and musical guests. Kendrick Lamar will open up as the season’s first musical guest, with WILLOW and Megan Thee Stallion to follow on Oct. 8 and 15h, respectively. Megan Thee Stallion will enter an elite club as she’s been tapped to not only perform, but she’ll be pulling double duty as the host.
