Justin Bieber was said to serve as a host on the March 10 episode of "Saturday Night Live". Alec Baldwin was the one who revealed the news in his podcast "Here's The Thing", saying, "I don't want to ruin any other names, [but] Bieber's confirmed."
Baldwin additionally hinted that in addition to hosting, the Biebs will also perform. "He's the music and the [host]," the "30 Rock" actor gushed. His statement was strengthened by "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels who joined him during the chat. "Yes," Michaels said.
Before mentioning Bieber, Baldwin shared, "The biggest names in the business are coming here thirty-something years [after SNL's debut] to host the show." He went on, "Ben Stiller, Melissa McCarthy, [who] won the Emmy award, and Katy Perry's coming and Jimmy Fallon, who's double-dipping on your payroll, Jonah Hill."
Bieber first came to "SNL" back in April 2010 to perform his singles "Baby" and "U Smile", and play in two sketches. The "Baby" hitmaker made an appearance again in February last year, playing in a skit named "Church Chat" and a pre-taped movie trailer re-cut parody of "The Roommate".
Bieber and his camp, however, haven't released a statement regarding the matter. If the "Never Say Never" hitmaker is really signed to host the "SNL" this year, it will become his first time ever hosting the variety show.
