Josh O’Connor Makes His SNL Hosting Debut — With Lily Allen as Musical Guest

On December 13, 2025, Josh O’Connor is set to host SNL for the very first time. That’s right — the actor best known for his dramatic chops (hello The Crown fans!) is taking on live sketch comedy.  

And he’s not going at it alone: the musical guest for the night is Lily Allen, who drops by during her West End Girl era. This pairing feels fresh and unexpected — the kind of combo that could become an instant classic. 

There’s a playful tension already building fans are wondering whether Josh’s serious acting vibe will mix with Lily’s cheeky, laid-back energy. Will he deliver deadpan sketches? Will she perform her hits or surprise us with something new? Either way, the buzz is real. Viewers are marking calendars, sharing meme predictions, and deciding which sketches could go viral. This Saturday night promises laughs — and a few moments we’ll never stop talking about.
