00:00I'm Halsey, and this week I'm hosting Saturday Night Live.

00:03I'm Halsey, and I'm this week's musical guest.

00:05I'm Halsey, and I'm in charge of cue cards.

00:12joining a list of superstars who have taken on both roles in the past.

00:16Here are five stars who've hosted and performed on SNL.

00:19Back in 2009, Taylor Swift hosted SNL just a couple months after Kanye West

00:24so rudely interrupted her VMA's acceptance speech.

00:27Yep, that was ten years ago.

00:30You may remember the then-19-year-old country star poking fun at her reputation in her SNL monologue song.

00:36I like writing songs about douchebags who cheat on me, but I'm not gonna say that in my monologue.

00:43Tay also sang her hit song, You Belong With Me,

00:45and engaged in some memorable sketches like this one about roomies.

00:49Hey, it's for horses and chickens and fish!

00:51Hit me three times and I'll grant you your wish!

00:53Three, two, one!

00:54Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka!

00:56Ariana Grande also delivered some hilarious SNL moments when she led the show as both host and performer in 2016.

01:03Like this impression of Jennifer Lawrence playing Celebrity Family Feud.

01:06They told me not to do a game show, but I was like, screw it, I can have fun, I'm a regular person.

01:10As a powerhouse singer and former TV star, it seemed like the gig was made for her.

01:15Ari even paid homage to her Nickelodeon roots playing a cheesy, Kids' Choice Awards pre-show host that kind of felt like an attack.

01:21I'd love to stay and chat, but I gotta go take my seat. I hope it's not too close to the slime zone.

01:26No surprise, fellow former teen star Drake also brought the laughs when he played Double Duty on SNL in both 2014 and 2016.

01:36Knock, knock. Who's there? It's One Direction.

01:40Oh, I'm just goofing. It's your dad.

01:44The Six God delivered impressions of stars like Alex Rodriguez, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne as Steve Urkel.

01:50Y'all got any cheese?

01:54Jennifer Lopez has also hosted and performed multiple times, first in 2001.

02:00Even if you were broke, even if you were broke.

02:02Cut, cut, cut.

02:04Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer, what's going on here? What's the problem?

02:07It's this dancer. He's awful.

02:09And nine years later, in 2010.

02:11I'm not married.

02:14Oh, yeah. Now things are really cookin'.

02:18But no music star may be better known for slaying SNL than Justin Timberlake,

02:23who's played Double Duty as host and performer three times in 2003, 2006, and 2013.

02:29The Man of the Woods singer has given us some iconic sketches over the years, like this one.

02:34Well, you know it's Christmas, and my heart is open, why?

02:41And this one.

02:42Here we are.

02:44Tonight, Barry's guest song.

02:46And I'll run for a stanza.

02:50And this one.

02:51Back down, tissue up.

02:53That's the way we wrap it up.

02:55Bring it on down, right?

02:57But those stars aren't alone.

02:59Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Elton John, Janet Jackson, Sting, Dolly Parton,

03:04and Willie Nelson have also all hosted and performed on the variety show.

03:08And that's just to name a few.
