Justin Bieber to Host NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE?

According to Alec Baldwin's WNYC Podcast 'Here's the Thing', superstar Justin Bieber will be hosting NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE sometime in 2012. Baldwin also revealed that actor Jonah Hill will be taking the helm of SNL this season as well. 

On this morning's episode of the Podcast, Baldwin's guest included SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels. The interview took place in Michael's office where a board of upcoming confirmed hosts was clearly visible. Baldwin took the liberty of reading the list of names which included Bieber as host and musical guest and Hill as host of upcoming programs. Though Bieber has never hosted the comedy show, he did appear as musical guest in April of 2010 on an episode hosted by Tina Fey. Hill previously hosted the show in 2008.

Sharing the news, Baldwin said, "The biggest names in the business are coming here thirty-something years [after 'SNL's debut] to host the show. Ben Stiller, Melissa McCarthy, [who] won the Emmy award, and Katy Perry's coming and Jimmy Fallon, who's double-dipping on your payroll, Jonah Hill, and I don't want to ruin any other names, [but] Bieber's confirmed, he's the music and the [host]."

NBC has not confirmed that either guest has been booked for the show which will be returning with all new episodes next month. First up will be Zooey Deschanel with musical guest Bon Iver on February 4th , followed by Channing Tatum with musical guest Karmin on February 11th.
