The month of December is already shaping up to be a great one for "Saturday Night Live," with Emma Stone set to host the show.

Stone will return to Studio 8H on December 3, marking her third time as emcee on the late night sketch series. The last time she hosted was in 2011, though she's popped up on "SNL" several times in recent years, including appearing on an episode hosted by her then-boyfriend and "celebs auditioning for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," and doing her best Gilda Radner impression during the "SNL" 40th anniversary celebration in 2015.


The musical guest for Stone's episode will be Shawn Mendes. This will be the singer-songwriter's first time appearing on "SNL."

Stone's hosting stint comes at the same time she'll be deep in the throes of promoting her new movie, the musical "Natalie Portman), so expect her to pull out the big guns -- a.k.a. do plenty of singing and dancing -- when she returns to 30 Rock.
