SNL taps Lily Allen, Dijon, Cher & Ariana Grande for December episodes

Saturday Night Live has announced the hosts and musical guests for its three December episodes, which will be the last for 2025:

On December 6, Melissa McCarthy returns for her sixth time as host with Dijon making his SNL debut as musical guest.

On December 13, actor Josh O’Connor (Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery) will host for the first time, with Lily Allen returning for her second appearance — and first time in 18 years — as musical guest.

SNL closes out 2025 on December 20 with Wicked star (and all-around pop star) Ariana Grande, who is making her third appearance as host (and fourth appearance overall), with the one-and-only Cher as musical guest, returning to the show for the first time since 1987.

This past weekend, SNL had Glen Powell as host and Olivia Dean as musical guest.
