PanARMENIAN.Net - "Saturday Night Live" will kick off New Year with Felicity Jones. The Oscar-nominated actress is set to host the show's first episode of 2017. She is tapped for January 14. Sturgil Simpson will serve as a musical guest, AceShowbiz said.

The upcoming episode will mark Jones' first appearance on the NBC sketch show. She is booked hot on heels of her blockbuster "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" that is poised to make a grand entrance at the top spot on Box Office.

"SNL" has just wrapped up the year of 2016 with Casey Affleck as a host and Chance the Rapper as a performer. Alec Baldwin was back as Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon reprised her role as Hilary Clinton for the episode. Now the show is taking a three-week break for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
