Who is hosting Saturday Night Live on April 6, 2024?
Kristen Wiig!
Kristen Wiig is an actress, screenwriter, and comedian, who was a long-running SNL cast member from 2005-2012. The hilariously expressive Wiig is remembered for impressions and recurring SNL characters like the Target Lady, Gilly, Penelope the queen of one-upmanship, and Dooneese, the large-headed Maharelle Sister that the Lawrence Welk show doesn't like to talk about.
Wiig has returned to SNL as Host and for cameos over the years. She most recently returned for Kate McKinnon's December 16 episode, where Wiig and her friend and SNL costar Maya Rudolph joined McKinnon for the cold open and two sketches—including the riotously funny "ABBA Christmas" sketch with Bowen Yang.
Wiig has also starred in memorable films such Bridesmaids opposite Rudolph, The Skeleton Twins with Bill Hader, Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, Welcome to Me, and the animated Despicable Me movies.
