Halsey to Host Saturday Night Live, Doubling as Her Own Musical Guest
Halsey is joining a select group of performers to have pulled double duty on Saturday Night Live. Announced during tonight’s James McAvoy-hosted broadcast, the musician will serve as both the host and musical guest of SNL‘s Feb. 9 episode.
This will mark Halsey’s third visit to Studio 8H. The singer-songwriter first appeared as the musical guest on Jan. 13, 2018 in an episode hosted by actor Sam Rockwell, then returned to SNL in November to perform alongside with Lil Wayne.
