January episodes of Saturday Night Live will feature a couple of singing show favorites. First, on January 22, current Eurovision Song Contest winners, Italy’s rock group Måneskin will perform with Will Forte as host. The appearance comes just in time as NBC will soon be announcing more details about the American Song Contest, premiering on Monday February 21.
Additionally, American Idol judge Katy Perry will leave ABC behind for a minute to perform on SNL on January 29. Willem Dafoe hosts.
