After a season full of hip, young hosts, Saturday Night Live is going in another direction this April—the show has both Elton John and Helen Mirren slated to host (the first and second weeks of April, respectively).
John was a musical guest back in 1982, and this time around he'll share music duties with Leon Russell (the two put out a collaborative album last year). Meanwhile, Mirren will be joined by the Foo Fighters (the actress will be promoting her comedy Arthur, which stars Russell Brand, who also just hosted SNL). Reportedly this is her first time hosting.
Do you think Horatio Sanz's Elton will have a face-off with the real Elton?
