Tina Fey will return to “Saturday Night Live” as host next month for the show’s season 43 finale.
Fey will host “SNL”‘s final episode this season on May 19, with Nicki Minaj serving as musical guest, the show announced via social media on Wednesday.
The appearance marks Fey’s sixth time hosting “SNL” since she left the show’s cast in 2006 to star in 30 Rock, which was inspired by her time at the show. Previously, Fey performed as a cast member for six years, and joined the show as a member of the writing staff in 1997. Most recently, she appeared as a colonial Philadelphian in “SNL”‘s pre-Super Bowl LII episode on Feb. 3.
Fey’s musical adaptation of her hit 2004 movie “Mean Girls” opened on Broadway at the August Wilson Theater this month to generally positive reviews. Following the show’s premiere, the Hollywood Reporter wrote that the musical is “a surprisingly enjoyable and genuinely funny sugar treat with a lot of heart.” A recent “SNL” sketch, featuring host (and former writer) John Mulaney, name-checked the musical.
