Jenna Ortega's it-girl reign is still going strong. Since the record-breaking success of her Netflix series, Wednesday, Jenna is making her next major career milestone as the host of Saturday Night Live on March 11. The 20-year-old actress shared the iconic blue and pink index cards on Instagram, writing "See you then @nbcsnl." As if the announcement couldn't get any better, alternative band The 1975 will serve as SNL's musical guest in support of their fifth studio album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language.

This marks Jenna's first-ever appearance on the live comedy show, which has previously included Gen Z powerhouses like Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and Timotheé Chalamet. Throughout the evening, she'll be taking part in comedy sketches with the cast and introducing musical performances by The 1975.
