Jennifer Lawrence hosts this week's all-new episode of NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. The actress, best known for playing 'Katniss Everdeen' in THE HUNGER GAMES, will be joined by musical guest Lumineers. Check out the promo for this week's show below!

Lawrence first garnered praise for her role in WINTER'S BONE (2010), which earned her an Oscar nomination, and ultimately, the role in THE HUNGER GAMES. Most recently, she can be seen opposite Bradley Cooper in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK.

SNL airs at 11:30 p.m. EST on NBC.

"Saturday Night Live," NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, continues its 38th season for another year of laughs, surprises and great performances.

Over the last three decades, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of a generation; and, as The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999: "In defiance of both time and show business convention, "SNL" is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the Past 50 Years.

The program has won 36 Emmy Awards and now holds the title for the most nominated television show in Emmy history with 156 nominations. "SNL" has been honored twice, in 1990 and 2009, with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and cited as "truly a national institution." "Saturday Night Live" was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame by the National Association of Broadcasters, and the show continues to garner the highest ratings of any late-night television program, entertaining millions each week.
