Jimmy Fallon will return to Saturday Night Live this December for one show only.
Fallon made a name for himself on SNL but left in 2004 to pursue other ventures, including becoming the host of Late Night on NBC in 2009.
Jimmy will be hosting Saturday Night Live on the 17th December, and Michael Bublé will be the musical guest promoting his new Christmas album.
Speaking on Twitter, Jimmy said “I’m incredibly honored to be heading back to 8H where it all started. And by “it” I mean Will Ferrell’s awesome movie career”.
Fallon has made a few sketch appearances on SNL since leaving but nothing as big as his hosting gig this December.
Former SNL cast member Tina Fey was a guest on the Late Show last week. Tina spoke about her second pregnancy. She’ll host Saturday Night Live on NBC next month.
