Aziz Ansari Hosting SNL With Musical Guest Big Sean
Music-adjacent actor-comedian Aziz Ansari will host the second Saturday Night Live of 2017, and Big Sean will be the musical guest. So reports Vulture’s Joe Adalian via Twitter:
BOOM! @azizansari hosting first @nbcsnl of the Trump Era, Jan. 21. Musical guest: @BigSean

Neither Ansari nor Big Sean has appeared on SNL before. Sean’s new album I Decided is out 2/3 on Def Jam, and hopefully this means the second season of Ansari’s great Netflix series Master Of None is imminent. SNL’s first show of the year airs this Saturday, 1/14 and features Rogue One star Felicity Jones as host alongside musical guest Sturgill Simpson.
