Amanda Seyfried will make her Saturday Night Live hosting debut on 5 December, with Don Toliver confirmed as the musical guest.
The 40-year-old Oscar-nominated actress will host the next episode of the NBC late-night sketch show’s 51st season. The announcement was made during the first half of this weekend’s programme, shortly before an advert break.
Seyfried’s appearance comes as she prepares to feature in several film and television projects. She recently appeared in the documentary You Can See Everything, which has been generating Oscar buzz.
Later this month, she will lend her voice to the Netflix animated film Steps. She will also reprise her role as Sam in Ted: The Animated Series, which is connected to the first two Ted films.
The animated series is due to debut on Peacock on 17 December, 12 days after Seyfried hosts Saturday Night Live.
The show picks up 12 years after the previous film, following John and Ted as neighbours with families and dead-end jobs. Its story centres on the pair as they navigate marriage, parenting and the challenges of adult life.
