Alec Baldwin Host, Radiohead Musical Guests for Saturday Night Live Season Opener

Radiohead will be the musical guests for the September 24 premiere of Saturday Night Live's thirty-seventh season, alongside host Alec Baldwin, according to USA Today

The English rock band, which in February released its eighth studio album, The King of Limbs, previously appeared on the show eleven years ago during its twenty-sixth season, appearing alongside host Kate Hudson. Being the major Radiohead fan that I am, I'm hoping to see an inclusion of the unreleased song "The Daily Mail," one of their most powerful tracks in years. (Also hoping for either "Lotus Flower" or "Separator" from The King of Limbs.)

The episode will be the sixteenth time that Baldwin has hosted the show, making him the most frequent host (he previously shared the title with comedian Steve Martin).

The next week's episode of the show will feature Mike & Molly actress Melissa McCarthy as the host, alongside musical guests Lady Antebellum. McCarthy recently appeared in the film Bridesmaids alongside SNL cast member Kristen Wiig.

Saturday Night Live's thirty-seventh season will premiere on September 24. All cast members from the previous season are returning. CollegeHumor's Sarah Schneider is also joining the writing staff for the series on a full-time basis this season.
