Sydney Sweeney!
Yes, the 26-year-old actress will take the stage for the first time as SNL Host. Though she has credits that date back to 2009, Sweeney really broke out in 2018 with compelling roles in The Handmaid's Tale and Sharp Objects. She reached another stratosphere of fame the next year playing Cassie Howard in the teen drama series Euphoria, for which she earned an Emmy nomination in 2022 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Sweeney's also making strides on the film front, having recently starred in the rom-com Anyone but You alongside Glen Powell and the Marvel blockbuster Madame Web with Dakota Johnson. Up next for Sweeney is the highly-anticipated third season of Euphoria, more film roles, and, of course, hosting Saturday Night Live.
