Woody Harrelson to Host ‘SNL’ Season 45 Premiere, Eddie Murphy Returns in December

Former cast standout and “Beverly Hills Cop” alum hasn’t hosted “Saturday Night Live” since 1984

“Saturday Night Live” announced its early Season 45 details. For starters, Woody Harrelson will host the season premiere, with Billie Eilish as his musical guest. Perhaps the biggest news, however, is that Eddie Murphy will host a December “SNL” episode.

This will be Murphy’s first time hosting “SNL” since 1984. He was last seen on the show for a brief appearance on the 40th anniversary special, “SNL 40,” in 2015.

“Fleabag” star Phoebe Waller-Bridge will host after Harrelson, with Taylor Swift, whose latest album “Lover” debuted last week, as the musical guest. Other hosts announced thus far include “Stranger Things” star David Harbour and “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart.
