Natasha Lyonne to Host SNL Season 47 Finale

Natasha Lyonne has been tapped to host the Season 47 finale of Saturday Night Live on May 21, with pop band Japanese Breakfast announced as musical guest.

Lyonne makes her SNL hosting debut one month after the release of Russian Doll Season 2. The comedy's first season, which premiered in 2019, follows Lyonne's character, Nadia, as she becomes stuck in a time loop and repeatedly dies on her birthday. In Season 2, Nadia is instead transported to different versions of the past, and she experiences life from the bodies of her mother and grandmother.

Japanese Breakfast, the indie pop band led by Michelle Zauner, will also be performing on SNL for the first time. Their most recent album, "Jubilee," debuted in June 2021.

Another first-timer, Selena Gomez, hosts this Saturday opposite musical guest Post Malone. Lizzo, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Zoë Kravitz have also hosted in recent weeks.
