Saturday Night Live has unveiled its first two hosts for the month of March, with Octavia Spencer and Scarlett Johansson taking over hosting duties the first two weeks.

The current season of Saturday Night Live has been one of the strongest in recent memory thanks to some great hosts and plenty of appearances from Alec Baldwin as President Donald Trump. It now looks like SNL will have some other solid hosts for the first two Saturdays of March.

Saturday Night Live will kick off March with actress Octavia Spencer hosting on March 4th. Spencer has been making plenty of buzz for her role as Dorothy Vaughan in Hidden Figures, with her performance helping her earn an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She’ll be joined by musical guest Father John Misty.

The very next week, actress Scarlett Johansson will be hosting SNL for the fifth time. She’ll be joining an elite Five-Timers Club that includes the likes of Baldwin, John Goodman, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Danny DeVito and others. She will be accompanied by the popular recording artist Lorde in what should be a very interesting episode.

SNL tweeted out their early March shows on Thursday.

There are plenty of people wondering whether or not either of the hosts will play a political figure over the next couple of weeks. Baldwin has been making appearances as Trump while Melissa McCarthy surprised everyone with her debut as White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
