Kristen Wiig, previously a cast member for seven seasons, returns to SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE on Nov. 19 for her second time as host. The xx will make their musical guest debut. Their highly anticipated third album, "I See You," will be released on Jan. 13.

Dave Chappelle will host this Saturday's show (Nov. 12) with musical guest A Tribe Called Quest.

"Saturday Night Live," NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, enters its 40th season in September for another year of laughs, surprises and great performances.

Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in DEFIANCE of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on THE ART OF comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.


"Saturday Night Live" is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
