With the great Peter Dinklage locked in as a first-time host of Saturday Night Live this weekend (with musical guest Gwen Stefani), SNL has also announced two other April hosts today. Russell Crowe, star of the upcoming The Nice Guys, will host on April 9th with musical guest Margo Price (yeah, we haven't heard of her either), and SNL alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus will host on April 16th (only her third time hosting, and first time since she started starring in Veep) with musical guest Nick Jonas.
You can see the promos for Dinklage's episode, in which he warns Cecily Strong that summer is coming, below.
While we're sure to get a Game Of Thrones-themed sketch or two, we are really hoping he brings back Peter Drunklage on Weekend Update with Bobby Moynihan's wonderful Drunk Uncle.
While we're throwing out hopes, it would be a shame if Larry David didn't make an appearance in Louis-Dreyfus' episode (if ever we were to get another mini-Seinfeld reunion, this seems like the time). And we are all for Crowe fightin' round the world one more time.
