Other stars taking on the hosting gig include "Hacks" star Jean Smart, John Mulaney, Nate Bargatze and Michael Keaton. Meanwhile, early performers for this season include Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish, Jelly Roll and Coldplay.
"SNL" returns on Sept. 28.
Grande, who made an appearance in Season 49 as a musical guest, joined a musical "Moulin Rouge" sketch featuring cast member Bowen Yang. The singer is gearing up for the release of "Wicked," the first of a two-part musical film that also stars Cynthia Erivo and premieres Nov. 27.
