According to the Hollywood Reporter, actress Jennifer Lawrence is scheduled to host the show Saturday night. The Hunger Games actress made headlines Sunday for not only winning a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, but also for making a joke about Meryl Streep while accepting her award.

Saturday Night Live first posted a picture to Twitter promoting the actress’s and band’s Jan. 19 appearance on the show in December. The episode will be the show’s first new one of the year.
