Saturday Night Live: Harry Styles to host and perform on SNL
He follows in the footsteps of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande

Harry Styles will perform double duty on Saturday Night Live as both host and musical guest.
The singer is scheduled to appear on the sketch show on 16 November.
His Twitter account made the announcement on Thursday in the traditional SNL format. The series typically makes casting announcement by sharing images of three sticky notes arranged in a vertical column. The first one features the episode’s date, the second one reveals the host’s name, and the third designates the musical guest.
In Styles’s case, the second and third sticky notes both bear his name, indicating that he’ll be filling both slots.
Styles was previously featured on SNL in April 2017, but on this occasion, he was just the musical guest while hosting duties were performed by Jimmy Fallon.
The singer, who recently released a new song titled “Lights Up”, isn’t the only entertainer to get the honour of a double billing this season.
Chance The Rapper is also scheduled to act as both host and musical guest this weekend, on 26 October.
Other stars who have filled both roles in the past have included Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.
