Saturday Night Live has announced their host and musical guest lineups for the rest of 2020. The sketch comedy show has set Timothée Chalamet, Jason Bateman and Kristen Wiig as its final three hosts to close out this unpredictable year.Bruce Springsteen, Dua Lipa and Morgan Wallen are set as musical guests, NBC announced on Wednesday. Bateman will start things off on Dec. 5 with Wallen as his musical guest, and it will mark the "Whiskey Glasses" singer's first time taking the SNL stage. He was axed as musical guest in October once a video resurfaced of the singer partying without a mask at a crowded house party amid the ongoing pandemic. He apologized for his actions and letting down his fans, team and SNL, but it was too late.Wallen was a good sport about the situation and announced his debut on the SNL stage by saying, "Let's try this again." Wallen's upcoming album Dangerous: The Double Album drops on Jan. 8, making it the perfect time for him to take the stage. Chalamet, who is set to star in films Dune and The French Dispatch, will make his SNL hosting debut on Dec. 12, with Springsteen and the E Street Band as musical guests. This will be Springsteen's fourth time performing on the show. Chalamet posted the announcement on Instagram with no caption but no caption necessary because this is major for the 24-year-old actor. Springsteen tweeted, "Live from New York... It's @nbcsnl on December 12th!" The Boss recently released his album A Letter to You, but we're hoping he performs "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" because 'tis the season.[video_embed id='1605107']RELATED: Girl tweets about sitting next to Timothee Chalamet[/video_embed]SNL alum Wiig will close out the year on Dec. 19, returning to Studio 8H to host the show for the fourth time. The Bridesmaids star was part of the SNL cast from 2006 to 2012, so we're hoping she'll bring back some of her iconic characters like Gilly, Penelope, who one-ups everything that anyone says and maybe even Target Lady, who loves working at Target. The Wonder Woman 1984 star will be joined by Dua Lipa, who previously performed on the show in 2018. She was set to take the stage as the musical guest with John Krasinski as host for SNL'S March 28th show, but that was cancelled due to the pandemic.While some were excited to see Wiig return to the show: Other fans of SNL also took to Twitter to discuss December's lineup following NBC's announcement to point out the lack of diversity among the group: [video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Puppy works smart not hard to escapes gate[/video_embed]
