A week later, Ariana Grande will return to the SNL stage to host the December 20 episode, which will close out the year’s season.

Cher is set to perform as the musical guest. This will be her first appearance on SNL since 1987. Grande, an Oscar-nominated and Grammy-winning performer, has hosted the show twice before.

Before these episodes, Melissa McCarthy will host on December 6, with Dijon performing as the musical guest. This will be McCarthy’s sixth time hosting SNL, and she has previously won an Emmy for her hosting work in 2017. Dijon will make her SNL debut on that night.
