Additionally, NBC announced on Thursday that Jimmy Fallon returns to host on April 15, and Chris Pine takes over duties on May 6.

In a first for the sketch show, all four episodes – April
15, May 6, May 13 and May 20 – will air live in all time zones across the U.S.,
meaning viewers on the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get to see
the show earlier than normal.
