*SNL* returns this weekend after a month-long hiatus [during the Olympics](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-hersheys-team-usa-chocolate-medal-tin/), and while we’ve known that [*Heated Rivalry* star **Connor Storrie**](https://www.theomnicosm.com/tag/connor-storrie/) and [*Project Hail Mary* lead **Ryan Gosling**](https://www.theomnicosm.com/the-cold-open-snl-ryan-gosling-hosting/) would host the next two episodes in Season 51, the March 14 episode didn’t have a host named for it until Monday.

### Who’s hosting? 

With a new album just weeks ago, **Harry Styles** will host *SNL* to promote *Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.*

### Have they hosted before?

This will be Styles’ second time hosting *SNL*, previously hosting on Nov. 16, 2019\. I honestly had forgotten that Styles had hosted the show, so I scrolled through sketches from his episode. Lots of Trump-era political stuff, but there was also “Joan Song,” [the absolute gem starring **Aidy Bryant**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL4kcGiqWmw&ref=theomnicosm.com) about her new boyfriend, Doug.

### Who’s the musical guest?

Styles is pulling double duty ... which means he’s going to have to split his time between prepping for sketches and crafting two musical performances. [I gotta agree with *The Hard Pass*’ **Mike Ryan**](https://www.thehardpass.net/?ref=theomnicosm.com) when he says that hosts shouldn’t do this. (I’ll allow it [if we can get **Donald Glover**/**Childish Gambino** back](https://www.theomnicosm.com/5-people-who-need-to-host-snl-again/), though.)
