NEW YORK (AP) — The December lineup for “Saturday Night Live” now includes Ariana Grande as host on Dec. 20, with Cher returning as musical guest for the first time in nearly 40 years.
It’s Grande’s third time hosting. Cher hasn’t been on the “SNL” stage since 1987. Josh O’Connor will make his hosting debut Dec. 13, with Lily Allen as musical guest, NBC announced Monday.
