Who is hosting season 47 of SNL?

SNL looked a little different on December 18, with the world's sexiest man taking the stage.

Paul Rudd, who was named People's Sexiest Man Alive earlier this year, hosted, which marked Rudd's fifth time appearing as host of the late-night comedy show.

Musical guest Charli XCX pulled out of last night's performance out of an abundance of caution due to the rise of COVID case in New York.

The 52-year-old American actor, comedian, screenwriter and producer, is most famously known for his roles in Marvel's Ant-Man, Friends, and Admission.

The other season 47 hosts have included:
