Five months after the release of his second studio album,Come Home the Kids Miss You, the Louisville rapper has been announced asSaturday Night Live’s next host and performer for its Oct. 29 program. Harlow, 24, shared the news of his double-dutySNLstint this weekend on both Twitter and Instagram.
“HOSTINGGGGGGSNL,” Harlow wrote to his Instagram followers, sharing a bulletin promo photo from the show itself, with his name appropriately written on two index cards.
Harlow made hisSNLdebut back on March 27, 2021, when he served as musical guest alongside hostMaya Rudolph. At the time, he performed tracks “Tyler Herro” and breakout hit “What’s Poppin,” both of which appeared on his major-label debut album,Thats What They All Say.
Harlow’s last stint onSNLalso featured an appearance in anEminem-inspired rap videoabout non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, alongsideChris ReddandPete Davidson. The clip pulled from Em’s 2002 “Without Me” video, where the trio fielded questions about NFTs as Davidson did his best Slim Shady impression.
