Amanda Seyfried will make her Saturday Night Live hosting debut on December 5, alongside musical guest Don Toliver, following an announcement made live during the John Mulaney-led November 14 episode.
The Season 52 Schedule
- Amanda Seyfried takes the Studio 8H stage for the first time on December 5.
- Don Toliver joins as musical guest, marking his own debut appearance on the program.
- The sketch comedy series enters a three-week break before returning for the December broadcast.
The upcoming appearance puts Seyfried in position as Season 52’s fourth first-time host. Jalen Brunson, Inde Navarrette, and Druski have also made their hosting debuts during the current season, according to TheWrap.
The hosting assignment follows a prominent fall for Seyfried. She generated headlines over the past month for her role in directors Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s documentary You Can See Everything, TheWrap reported.
In the documentary, Seyfried reprises her role as Elizabeth Holmes through dramatized reenactments. She also appears in confrontational scenes with Holmes’ partner, Billy Evans.
Seyfried addressed her involvement in the documentary during an interview with Fielder and Oppenheim. That interview was published the same week as the SNL announcement.
The documentary itself previously featured on the show during the November 7 episode hosted by Druski. That installment included a pre-taped sketch imagining Druski heading the documentary production instead of Fielder and Oppenheim, featuring Jane Wickline as Holmes and Ben Marshall as Evans.
Whether the December 5 episode will feature additional sketches related to the documentary remains open. The sketch comedy series has not yet announced hosts or musical guests for its December 12 and December 19 episodes.
